Chapter 0.7, Problem 1E

To determine

To calculate: The perimeter of the figure given.

Answer to Problem 1E

The perimeter of the figure is $20\text{m}$ .

Explanation of Solution

Given information:

The figure is given in the question.

Formula used:

Perimeter $\left(P\right)$ of squareis denoted by $P=4s$ where s is the side of the square.

Calculation:

The figure is a square as its all sides are equal and each angle is right angle. Provided length of side is $5\text{m}$ .

Recall that aperimeter $\left(P\right)$ of square is denoted by $P=4s$ where s is the side of the square.

Apply it,

  $\begin{array}{c}P=4s\\ =4\left(\text{5m}\right)\\ =20\text{m}\end{array}$

Thus, the perimeter of the figure is $20\text{m}$ .
