write an expression that represents the perimeter of the figure below. write your answer in simplified form.
(there is a star - shaped figure with some sides labeled k and j. the perimeter is denoted as p.)

Explanation:

Step1: Count sides of length $k$

There are 8 sides with length $k$, so their total length is $8k$.

Step2: Count sides of length $j$

There are 2 sides with length $j$, so their total length is $2j$.

Step3: Sum all side lengths

Perimeter $P$ is the sum of all side lengths.
$P = 8k + 2j$

Answer:

$P=8k+2j$
