Question

the following figure is made of a triangle and a rectangle. all of the sides of the triangle are the same length. 5 cm 5 cm 23 cm what is the perimeter of the figure? cm

Explanation:

Step1: Identify the lengths of the outer - sides

The rectangle has two lengths of 23 cm and one width of 5 cm. The equilateral triangle has two outer - sides of 5 cm each.

Step2: Calculate the perimeter

The perimeter \(P\) is the sum of the lengths of all outer - sides. \(P=23 + 23+5 + 5+5\).

Step3: Perform the addition

\(P=(23\times2)+(5\times3)=46 + 15=61\) cm.

Answer:

61
