Answer 1

Hey there,

So when finding the perimeter, we do addition.

So . . .

20 + 12 + 18 + 7+ 13+6

Your correct answer would be 76

Hope this helps.

Answer 2

Hey there!

To get this perimeter, we need to have all the side lengths. In this picture, all side lengths but 2 is given. Thus, we have to find the two missing side lengths.


`20-7=13`

`18-12=6`

Thus, the two missing side lengths are 13 and 6.
Now, let's add all the side lengths.


`20+12+18+7+13+6`

`=\boxed{76}`

The perimeter is 76 inches, which is answer choice D.
Hope this helps! :)
