Answer:

40

Explanation:

The shape has 6 sides a,b,c,d,e,f

The perimeter is the sum of the sides

P = a+b+c+d+e +f

4 of the sides add to 195 a+b+c+d = 195 Replace in the equation

P = 195 +e+f

We know that e and f are equal

P = 195+f+f

P = 195+2f

The perimeter is 275

275=195+2f

Subtract 195 from each side

275 -195 = 195+2f-195

80 = 2f

Divide by 2

80/2 = 2f/2

40 =f

The other 2 sides are 40 ft each
