Final answer:

To find the perimeter of a figure, add all the side lengths together. The sides add up to a total of 46cm, making that the perimeter.

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the perimeter of a figure with given side lengths, we simply need to add all the side lengths together. The sides provided measure 5cm, 5cm, 16cm, 8cm, 8cm, and 4cm.

By adding these, we get:

  1. 5cm + 5cm = 10cm
  2. 10cm + 16cm = 26cm
  3. 26cm + 8cm = 34cm
  4. 34cm + 8cm = 42cm
  5. 42cm + 4cm = 46cm

So, the perimeter of the figure is 46cm.
