Answer: 44 in.
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the perimeter of the figure, we can add up all the lengths of the sides of the figure.
Let's start with the top side:
The sides with the small line intersecting it indicate that the side is 1.5 in. Adding up all the sides with a length of 1.5 in, we get:
1.5 + 1.5 + 1.5 + 1.5 + 1.5 + 1.5 + 1.5 + 1.5 + 1.5
= 1.5 × 9
= 13.5
Right and left sides:
We are given that the right side is 11.5 in. The left side is also 11.5 in, so:
11.5 + 11.5 = 23
Bottom side:
We can find the length of the bottom side by adding the sides on the top parallel to the bottom side. There are five 1.5 in sides that are parallel to the bottom side, so:
1.5 × 5 = 7.5
Adding up all the sides:
13.5 + 23 + 7.5 = 44
The perimeter of the figure is 44 in.
