Step 1: Determine the dimensions of the rectangle.
The shape is drawn on 1 cm grid paper.
By counting the squares, the length of the rectangle is 5 units, so L=5 cm.
The width of the rectangle is 2 units, so W=2 cm.
Step 2: Calculate the perimeter using the formula.
The perimeter P of a rectangle is given by the formula P=2(L+W).
Substitute the values for length and width:
P=2(5cm+2cm)
P=2(7cm)
P=14 cm
The perimeter of the shape is 14cm.
