Question 456982: I have a problem in my math textbook. The directions are to find the perimeter of this figure:
The left side is 5/11 in., the bottom line is 5/11 in., the one bottom small square line is 3/11 in., and the far right line is 3/11 in. It looks like two squares. It also looks like a giant rectangle with the bottom right part cut out. The uppermost line would be 8/11 in. and the other missing line would be 2/11 in. For irregular shapes, you can add all the sides together to get the correct perimeter?

If all the sides are given, then all you have to do is add them up to get the perimeter.
