Question

Find the perimeter of the following polygon. Be sure to include the correct unit in your answer. 13 cm 12 cm 12 cm 13 cm Emi

Answer 1

The perimeter of a polygon is defined as the sum of the length of the boundary of the polygon. In other words, we say that the total distance covered by the sides of any polygon gives its perimeter.

Perimeter of a Polygon ... The total distance of the outer sides of a closed figure is known as the perimeter. It is the total length of all sides of a polygon.

`\begin{gathered} \text{perimeter = (13+12+12+13)}cm \\ \text{Perimeter = 50}cm \end{gathered}`

Therefore the perimeter of the polygon = 50cm
