Answer:
See Explanation Below
Step-by-step explanation:
The question is incomplete (because the figure to calculate the perimeter is missing).
However from the comment attached to your question, I understand that the figure looks like a plus sign.
The perimeter of a plane shape is calculated by adding the length of each side of the shape.
Take for instance;
A square of length 5cm.
We know that a square has 4 equal sides; meaning that the length of the other sides are also 5cm
So, the perimeter of the square will be calculated as 5cm + 5cm + 5cm + 5cm = 20cm
Similarly, the perimeter of a triangle whose sides are 4ft, 3ft and 5ft will be calculated by adding up the length of the three sides.
Perimeter of the triangle = 4ft + 3ft + 5ft
Perimeter = 12ft.
Having explained how the perimeter of a plane shape is calculated; take for example, the attachment below.
(The sides are measured in centimetres)
The plus sign has 12 sides; Its perimeter is calculated by adding up the length of the 12 sides.
Perimeter = 3 + 7 + 7 + 5 + 5 + 5 + 5 + 2 + 2 + 4 + 4 + 3
Perimeter = 52cm
