136m\text{136m}

Step-by-step solution

3 steps

Let's find the perimeter of shape (4). The perimeter is the total length of all the outer sides of the shape.

  1. Identify all known side lengths.

    The given side lengths are:

    • Left outer vertical side: 24m24\text{m}
    • Bottom left horizontal side: 15m15\text{m}
    • Inner left vertical side (of the cut-out): 8m8\text{m}
    • Inner horizontal side (top of the cut-out): 6m6\text{m}
    • Inner right vertical side (of the cut-out): 8m8\text{m}
    • Bottom right horizontal side: 15m15\text{m}
  2. Determine the lengths of the unknown outer sides.

    This is a rectilinear polygon, meaning all its angles are right angles.

    • The total width of the shape is the sum of the bottom horizontal segments and the inner horizontal segment:
    Total width=15m+6m+15m=36m\text{Total width} = 15\text{m} + 6\text{m} + 15\text{m} = 36\text{m}

    This total width corresponds to the length of the top outer horizontal side.

    • The total height of the shape on the right side must be equal to the total height on the left side:
    Right outer vertical side=24m\text{Right outer vertical side} = 24\text{m}
  3. Sum all the outer side lengths to find the perimeter.

    The perimeter is the sum of all the segments identified:

    Perimeter=24m+15m+8m+6m+8m+15m+24m+36m\text{Perimeter} = 24\text{m} + 15\text{m} + 8\text{m} + 6\text{m} + 8\text{m} + 15\text{m} + 24\text{m} + 36\text{m} Perimeter=(24+15+8+6+8+15+24+36)m\text{Perimeter} = (24 + 15 + 8 + 6 + 8 + 15 + 24 + 36)\text{m} Perimeter=(39+8+6+8+15+24+36)m\text{Perimeter} = (39 + 8 + 6 + 8 + 15 + 24 + 36)\text{m} Perimeter=(47+6+8+15+24+36)m\text{Perimeter} = (47 + 6 + 8 + 15 + 24 + 36)\text{m} Perimeter=(53+8+15+24+36)m\text{Perimeter} = (53 + 8 + 15 + 24 + 36)\text{m} Perimeter=(61+15+24+36)m\text{Perimeter} = (61 + 15 + 24 + 36)\text{m} Perimeter=(76+24+36)m\text{Perimeter} = (76 + 24 + 36)\text{m} Perimeter=(100+36)m\text{Perimeter} = (100 + 36)\text{m} Perimeter=136m\text{Perimeter} = 136\text{m}

    The perimeter of shape (4) is 136m\boxed{\text{136m}}.
