Step-by-Step Solution

Answer

The perimeter of the given figure is 13.4 cm.

Step 1. Given information.

In the figure, the rectangle with sides 2.4 cm and 3.5 cm is surmounted by an isosceles triangle with equal sides being 2.0 cm.

Step 2. The perimeter of a polygon.

The perimeter of a polygon is the sum of the lengths of its sides.

Step 3. Calculations.

Apply it

$$\begin{gathered} P=3.5+2.4+3.5+2.0+2.0 \\ =13.4 \end{gathered}$$

Thus, the perimeter of the figure is 13.4 cm.
