Answer:

48cm!

Explanation:

10 + 6 = 16

16 + 17 = 33 ( 16 + 10 = 26 + 7 = 33)

33 + 15 = 48 (33 + 10 = 43 + 5 = 480

Answer:

about 60.1 cm

Explanation:

The perimeter is the sum of the side lengths. The only side length not given is that of the slanted side. It can be considered to be the hypotenuse of a right triangle with legs (15 -10) = 5 cm and (17 -6) = 11 cm. The Pythagorean theorem tells us that hypotenuse has a length of ...

c² = a² +b²

c = √(a² +b²) = √((5 cm)² +(11 cm)²) = √146 cm ≈ 12.083 cm

Then the sum of side lengths (CW from bottom left) is ...

17 cm +10 cm +6 cm +12.1 cm +15 cm = 60.1 cm

The perimeter is about 60.1 cm.
