Answer:
Perimeter: 40 in
Step-by-step explanation:
You already know that perimeter refers to the lengths of the SIDES of a shape, so let's apply it here.
As we can see this is a hexagon, a shape with 6 SIDES
You are given the numbers 2, 9, 11, 2 already as 4 out of the 6 SIDES needed to solve this problem.
You need two more sides.
As you can see the sides that we're missing here has no numbers, but we can look at other side lengths and see if they can help.
The other side lengths that can help are 9 in and 2 in. Why? because when subtracted, they equal the missing length.
If you took away the 2 from the 9, you get a length of <u>7</u>, which is one of the missing sides.
The NEXT missing side, you can determine by subtracting 11-2, because then you are left with the extra missing space. 11-2= <u>9</u>
Now that we have 6/6 SIDES, let's now add.
<u>7</u>+<u>9</u>+2+2+9+11=40
Therefore your answer is 40 in.
