Step1: Analyze the sides of the composite figure

The composite figure has sides: two sides of length \( 4\ \text{cm} \), one side of length \( 5\ \text{cm} \), one side of length \( 7\ \text{cm} \), and two sides equal to the side of the square (which is \( 7\ \text{cm} \) as it's a square).

Step2: Calculate the perimeter

Perimeter \( P=5 + 4+4 + 7+7+5\)
