Define the perimeter of a shape
The perimeter of any shape is the distance around the edge of a shape. That is the total length of the outline of the shape
Draw the shape given with the appropriate dimension
The shape is shaded and the perimeter is the total length of the outline
Noted that line DE is equal to BC
[tex]DE=BC=8[/tex]
Therefore, the perimeter is
[tex]AB+BC+CD+DE+EA[/tex][tex]P=6+8+7+8+6[/tex][tex]P=35\text{units}[/tex]
