Question

Find the perimeter of each figure.

Step-by-Step Solution

Answer

The perimeter of the figure is 90 in.

Step 1. Given information.

The figure is given in the question.

Step 2. The perimeter of a polygon.

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

Step 3. Calculations.

The figure has opposite sides that are equal. So, two sides have a length of 18 in and the other two sides have a length of 27in.

$$\begin{gathered} P=18+18+27+27 \\ =90 \end{gathered}$$

Thus, the perimeter of the figure is 90 in.
