Answer 1

Perimeter is basically adding all of the sides so you have to add; 6 + 2 + 3 + 2 + 3 + 3 +3 + 3 + 7 + 2 + 2 + 2= 38 .

38 is the perimeter.

Answer 2

b. 38 cm.

Explanation:

Note that the 2 sides which are unmarked are the opposite sides of 2 rectangles so they are both = 2 cm.

Now we just add all the given sides.

Starting with 6 on the top and travelling clockwise:

Perimeter = 6 + 2 + 2 + 3 + 3 + 2 + 7 + 2 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 2

= 38 cm.
