Answer:

Explanation:

Perimeter equals the lengths of each side or edge added together

The perimeter of a square is P = 4 × side all four sides ar the same length

The perimeter of a rectangle is P = 2×L + 2×W

Perimeter of a circle is P = π × r

The perimeter here is a random polygon, but still just add up all sides to get your answer.

P = 47 + 50 + 9 + 30 + 30 + 30 + 9 +50

= 47 + 2×50 + 2×9 + 3×30

= 47 + 100 + 18 + 90

= 190 + 65

P = 255 yards I assume there is a typo somewhere in the question
