Find the perimeter of the figure. (Must include ALL sides.)
6ft
9ft
3ft
4ft
9.

The perimeter is 32 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter of a plane shape

The perimeter of a shape measures the distance around the boundary of the shape. For most regular shapes the perimeter can be calculated with specific formulas. When the shape is not regular, each figure must be worked out according to the concept explained above.

The shape in the image is not regular. There are two unknown lengths that make part of the perimeter, called x and y in the attached image.

Please note that y is equal to the sum of the bottom sides of the shape, that is, y = 7 ft. A similar situation occurs with the side called x. The total length of the right side is 9 ft, thus x = 3 ft.

Find the sum of all individual lengths:

P = 9 + y + 6 + 3 + x + 4 = 9 + 7 + 6 + 3 + 3 + 4 = 32 ft

The perimeter is 32 ft

None of the options listed is correct.
