Question

Find the perimeter of the figure.

Answer 1

The perimeter is only the outer edge of the figure. We can split this up into the perimeter of the square, and the perimeter of the rectangle.

Square:

Only 3 sides of the square are visible in the perimeter.

3 + 3 + 3 = 9

Rectangle:

We have one full length, one shortened length, and 2 widths in the perimeter.

2(4) + (8 + 3) + 8 = 27

Figure:

Now that we know the perimeter of the rectangle and square, we need to add them together to find the area of the figure.

27 + 9 = 36

The perimeter is 36 feet.

Hope this helps! :)
