Transcript text: Find the perimeter of the figure pictured below.
Solution
Solution Steps
Step 1: Identify the sides of the figure
The figure is an L-shaped polygon. The sides are labeled as follows:
Vertical side on the left: 11 units
Horizontal side on the bottom: 12 units
Vertical side on the top right: 3 units
Horizontal side on the top right: 2 units
Step 2: Determine the missing sides
To find the perimeter, we need to identify all the sides of the figure. The missing sides are:
The vertical side on the right: This is the difference between the longer vertical side (11 units) and the shorter vertical side (3 units), which is \(11 - 3 = 8\) units.
The horizontal side on the top: This is the difference between the longer horizontal side (12 units) and the shorter horizontal side (2 units), which is \(12 - 2 = 10\) units.
