Question

Im an older lady and could really use some help.

Answer 1

To find out the perimeter of the given figure, we need to calculate the hypotenuse of the right triangle

step 1

Applying the Pythagorean Theorem

Let

H ---> hypotenuse

H^2=15^2+17^2

H^2=514

H=22.67 ft

step 2

Find out the perimeter

Adds the long sides of the figure

so

P=22.67+16+17+16+15

P=86.67 ft

therefore

the perimeter is 86.67 ft
