Explanation:

1.

The obvious question to ask in this situation is, “how many miles does Joseph travel on Mondays”? To compute, we each distance: 3 + 6 + 6 = 15.

Joseph travels 15 miles on Mondays.

3.Perimeter means “distance around a closed figure or shape” and to compute we add each length: 3 + 6 + 6 = 15

4.Solution

Just keep adding those side lengths. 6 + 7 + 4 + 4 + 5 + 6 + 2 = 34 units

If you look closely at the shapes in the previous examples, you might notice some ways to write each perimeter as a more explicit formula. See if the results from what we have done so far match the formulas below.
