Answer

\text{14 cm}

2 steps

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 $L = 5 \text{ cm}$ .
The width of the rectangle is 2 units, so $W = 2 \text{ cm}$ .
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:
$P = 2(5 \text{ cm} + 2 \text{ cm})$ $P = 2(7 \text{ cm})$ $P = 14 \text{ cm}$
The perimeter of the shape is $\text{14 cm}$ .
