Answer:

Step-by-step explanation

Perimeter is sum of the measurement of all sides of a polygon . The polygon we have in this question is formed by using the tangents from a given circle .

The concept we are going to use here is that if we draw two tangents from the same point outside on a given circle, the length of both tangents are always equal .

There are 8 sides of this polygon , That means there are four pairs because length of them are equal .

So perimeter is equal to two times the sum of four sides given to us .

Perimeter = 2( 22+27+22+98)

Perimeter = 2(169)

Perimeter = 338 in

Answer:


P=338\ in

Explanation:

we know that

The perimeter of the red figure is equal to


P=2[22+27+22+98] ----> because the sides of the figure are tangent to the circle


P=2[169]


P=338\ in
