Question

What is the perimeter of the composite figure?

Answer 1

Answer: The perimeter is 85 cm

Explanation:

To find the perimeter you will need to add the distance around the shape.

But there seem to be one missing side .

To find that missing side we will have to add 3cm and 6 cm then subtract it from 22.

3 + 6 = 9

22 - 9 = 13

Now add the distance around the shape plus the 13.

22 + 15 + 6 + 8 + 13 + 3 + 18 = 85

Answer 2

Answer: 96 cm

Explanation:

The perimeter is the combined sum of the sides.

So 18 + 22 + 3 + 8 + 6 + 15 = 72

To find the 2 missing sides we use the information we already have.

On the top, we can see 18 is overall the largest line from the missing side.

So we'll need to subtract something from 18.

15 - 8 = 7 ( Inferencing )

18 - 7 = 11 ( length of the top missing side )

22 - 9 = 13

11 + 13 + 72 = 96 cm
