Solution

Given a trapezoid with the following dimensions


10ft,10ft,11ft,15ft

To find the perimeter, P, of the polygon, we add up all the side lengths i.e the formula to find the perimeter, P, of the trapezoid is


\begin{gathered} P=a+b+c+d \\ \text{Where a, b, c and d are the side lengths} \end{gathered}

Where


\begin{gathered} a=10ft \\ b=10ft \\ c=11ft \\ d=15ft \end{gathered}

Subsitute the values into the formula above


\begin{gathered} P=10+10+11+15=46 \\ P=46ft \end{gathered}

Hence, the perimeter is 46ft
