Question

Find the perimeter of the figure shown above. a. 50 cm c. 30 cm b. 64 cm d. 60 cm Please select the best answer from the choices provided A B C D

Answer 1

b. 64 cm

Explanation:

Perimeter of the figure

= 12 + 2(16) + 2(10)

= 12 + 32 + 20

= 64

Answer 2

Option B is correct.

Explanation:

Figure is attached with marking of vertices.

from figure ∠A and ∠D are right angle

So, we can break the given figure in to a triangle BEC & a Rectangle ABCD

We know that opposite side of the rectangle are equal. So,

CD = AB = 16 cm

So the Perimeter of the given figure = AB + BE + EC + CD + AD = 16 + 10 + 10 + 6 + 12 = 64 cm

Therefore, Option B is correct.
