The perimeter of a plane figure is the distance around it.

skullpatrol · Answer

@Lunalovegood  You are missing two lengths in the figure, but from the scale we can assume that they are 1 and 2. How much distance would you travel if you walked around on the edge of the figure?

29?

skullpatrol · Answer

How did you get that number?

anonymous · Answer

well i counted the numbers around the object, I not sure if i am correct. This is something very new to me

skullpatrol · Answer

Let's start in the upper right hand corner and walk down 5 then turn left and walk 5, then up 1, then 2, 2, 2, 2 and finally 5 to get back to where we started. Remembering that the perimeter of a plane figure is the distance around it.

Use a pencil and draw your path around the figure, counting as you go.
