Question

find the perimeter. yd 15yd 2yd 6yd 8yd 3yd

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate the missing vertical side

The total vertical side is \(2 + 6+3=11\) yd.

Step2: Calculate the missing horizontal side

The total horizontal side of the large shape (if no cut - out) would have a certain relation. The other horizontal side: \(15 + 8=23\) yd.

Step3: Use the perimeter formula for a complex shape (by adding all outer sides)

Perimeter \(=2\times(11 + 15+8)+2\times6\)
First, \(11 + 15+8=34\), then \(2\times34 = 68\), and \(2\times6=12\).
So perimeter \(=68 + 12=80\) yd.

Answer:

\(80\) yd
