Question

Find the perimeter of a polygon with sides 11 ft, 7 ft, 18 ft, 22 ft, 14 ft, and 23.5 ft.

Answer 1

The perimeter adds all sides so, 11+7+18+22+14+23.5=95.5 ft. =)

Answer 2

We have to find perimeter of a polygon. The distance around a polygon is called perimeter. So to find perimeter of a polygon we have to add the lengths of all the sides of the polygon.

Here in the problem, the sides of a polygon given,

11ft, 7ft, 18ft, 22ft, 14ft, 23.5ft.

Sum of the lengths of all the sides =

`(11+7+18+22+14+23.5)` ft

=
`(18+18+22+14+23.5)` ft

=
`(36+22+14+23.5)` ft

=
`(58+14+23.5)` ft

=
`(72+23.5)` ft

=
`95.5` ft

We have got the required answer.

The perimeter of the polygon is 95.5 ft.
