Question

What is the perimeter of the figure Assume that all angles are right anglesA) 23 yardsB) 30 yardsC) 32 yardsD) 26 yards

Answer 1

The perimeter of the figure is the sum of the lengths of its sides. Find the missing side lengths to calculate the perimeter of the figure.

The length of then missing horizontal side is 6yd because it must add up to 8yd with the 2yd segment.

The length of the missing vertical side is 4yd because it must add up to 7yd with the 3yd segment.

Then, the perimeter of the figure is:

`\begin{gathered} P=7yd+8yd+3yd+2yd+4yd+6yd \\ =30yd \end{gathered}`

Therefore, the correct choice is option B) 30 yards.
