Question

find the perimeter of the figure shown. express the perimeter using the same unit of measure that appears on the given sides. perimeter =

Explanation:

Step1: Find the missing horizontal side

The total horizontal length is \(4 + 9=13\) ft.

Step2: Find the missing vertical side

The total vertical length is \(4 + 6 = 10\) ft.

Step3: Calculate the perimeter

The perimeter of a rectangle (the figure can be considered as a rectangle after finding missing sides) is \(P=2\times(\text{length}+\text{width})\). Here, length \(l = 13\) ft and width \(w=10\) ft. So \(P = 2\times(13 + 10)=2\times23 = 46\) ft.

Answer:

\(46\) ft
