Question

What is the perimeter of the figure?
Assume that all angles are right angles

A.50 cm
B.42 cm
C.60cm
D.36 cm

Answer 1

Hello there!

The perimeter is the length of all the sides, combined.

So, if you add all them up, the answer is 60cm.

In this problem, you will have to do some figuring, though.

Answer 2

Answer: C. 60cm

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the perimeter of the given figure, we need to divide them in easier figures.

Thus, we divide it into three rectangles as given in the figure .

If we consider whole as a rectangle , then opposite sides must be equal, thus, we get the remaining dimensions of the sides as shown in the figure.

Now, the perimeter of the figure = $10+6+8+3+8+3+10+12=60\ cm$

Hence, the perimeter of the given figure = 60 cm
