Answer:

7.3 ft.

Explanation:

The perimeter of a geometrical figure is calculated by adding all side lengths up:

The perimeter of the figure in question is 84.6 ft.

2*(3.4) + 2*(11.3) + 6*(6.8) + (7.1) + ? = 84.6 (it's easier if we write equal terms in multiplying form)

77,3 + ? = 84.6 subtract 77.3 from both sides

? = 7.3 is the length of the missing side
