Answer:

80

Step-by-step explanation:

Look at the figure below. The perimeter is the same as if the corners were moved out to form a square. Then you have 4 congruent sides of length 20.

P = 4 * 20 = 80

The perimeter of a shape is the summation of the sides of the shape. The perimeter of the shape is 80 units.

From the attached figure, we have the following observations

  • All sides of the shape are either vertical or horizontal line
  • None of the side lengths overlaps

This means that if the shape is drawn (see attachment) to have 4 sides, opposite sides of the shape will be congruent.

The first side length is:

[tex]Length = 20[/tex]

While the adjacent side length is:

[tex]Width = 12 + 8 =20[/tex]

The perimeter (P) of the shape is then calculated as follows:

[tex]P = 2 \times (Length + Width)[/tex]

[tex]P = 2 \times (20 + 20)[/tex]

[tex]P = 2 \times 40[/tex]

[tex]P = 80[/tex]

Hence, the perimeter of the shape is 80 units.
