Answer:

18 millimeters

Explanation:

The perimeter of any shape is the sum of the sides. A trapezoid has four sides, so the perimeter is found by adding the four side lengths together.

The trapezoid in this problem has side lengths of 5 mm, 2 mm, 5 mm, and 6 mm.

Add the sides together.

5 mm + 2 mm + 5 mm + 6 mm

7 mm + 5 mm + 6mm

12 mm + 6 mm

18 mm

The perimeter of the trapezoid is 18 millimeters.
