Question

write an expression that represents the perimeter of the figure below. write your answer in simplified form.

Explanation:

Step1: Identify side - lengths

The figure has side - lengths \(l\), \(m\), \(n\), and \(p\). Count the number of times each side - length appears.

Step2: Sum up side - lengths

The perimeter \(P\) is the sum of all side - lengths. We have \(2l+2m + 2n+8p\).

Answer:

\(2l + 2m+2n + 8p\)
