find the perimeter of the polygon shown in the figure.
36 units
12 units
24 units
18 units

Explanation:

Step1: Determine the side length

Count the units between \(Z\) and \(Y\) (or \(W\) and \(X\) horizontally). The length is \(6\) units. Count the units between \(Z\) and \(W\) (or \(Y\) and \(X\) vertically). The length is \(6\) units.

Step2: Calculate the perimeter

The formula for the perimeter \(P\) of a rectangle is \(P = 2\times(\text{length}+\text{width})\). Here, length \(l = 6\) and width \(w=6\). So \(P=2\times(6 + 6)=2\times12 = 24\) units.

Answer:

24 units
