Answer:

The perimeter of the pentagon ≅ 19 units (approximately)

Explanation:

Clockwise, starting from the base of the pentagon, we have:

The base of the pentagon or bottom side ≅ 4 units

2nd side ≅ 3.75 units

3rd side ≅ 3.75 units

4th side ≅ 3.75 units

5th side ≅ 3.75 units

In consequence,

Perimeter of the pentagon ≅ 4 + 3.75 + 3.75 + 3.75 + 3.75

The perimeter of the pentagon ≅ 19 units
