The calculated value of the perimeter of the figure is 52 meters

Calculating the perimeter of the figure

From the question, we have the following parameters that can be used in our computation:

The composite figure

The total perimeter of the composite figure is the sum of the side lengths

Where, we have the following shapes and dimensions

Small rectangle: 7m by 5m i.e. 13 - 8 = 5

Big rectangle: 6m by 13m

The perimeter is then calculated as:

Perimeter = Perimeter of Small rectangle + Perimeter of Big rectangle - 2 * Common side length 5m

Using the perimeter formula (P = 2 * (L + B)). we have

Perimeter = 2 * (7 + 5) + 2 * (6 + 13) - 2 * 5

Evaluate

Perimeter = 52

Hence. the total perimeter of the figure is 52 meters

Answer:

52 m

Explanation:

6 + 7 = 13 = left side

13 - 8 = 5 = small part of the bottom

13 + 13 + 5 + 6 + 7 + 8 =

52
