Answer:

The missing side length is 27 in

Explanation:

see the attached figure

we know that

1 ft= 12 in

step 1

Convert ft to in

2 ft=2*12=24 in

Note ----> the given measure is 13 in instead of 13 ft

step 2

Find the missing side length

The perimeter of a quadrilateral is the sum of its four side lengths

Let

x------> the missing side length

P=x+24+13+15

P=79 in

so

79=x+24+13+15

x=79-52=27 in

The missing side length is 27 in
