Question

Find the perimeter of each figure.

Step-by-Step Solution

Answer

The perimeter of the figure is 38 km.

Step 1. Given information.

The figure is given in the question.

Step 2. Perimeter of rectangle.

Perimeter of rectangle with length (l) and breadth (b) is denoted by P = 2 (l + b).

Step 3. Calculations.

The figure is a rectangle as its opposite sides are equal and each angle is the right angle. So, length is and breadth is 11km.

$$\begin{gathered} P=2\left(l+b\right) \\ =2\left(8+11\right) \\ =38 \end{gathered}$$ 

Thus, the perimeter of the figure is 38km.
