How to Find the Perimeter of a Composite Shape | Missing Side Lengths | Math with Mr. J

What does the perimeter of a shape represent?

• The area inside the shape.

• The distance around the outside of the shape.

• The volume of the shape.

• The number of corners in the shape.

In the example shape, if the total vertical length on the right is 11 ft and one part is 4 ft, what is the length of the other vertical part?

• 6 ft

• 7 ft

• 8 ft

• 14 ft

For the example shape, if two horizontal segments on the top measure 8 ft and 6 ft, what is the total length of the bottom horizontal side?

• 11 ft

• 12 ft

• 14 ft

• 15 ft

What is the total perimeter of the composite shape shown in the example, after finding all side lengths?

• 45 ft

• 48 ft

• 50 ft

• 52 ft
