The perimeter of the trapezoid is

Answer 1

To find the perimeter of a trapezoid, you simply add the lengths of all its sides together.

Given the lengths of the sides:
- Side 1: 28 m
- Side 2: 27 m
- Side 3: 13 m
- Side 4: 12 m

The formula for the perimeter \(P\) is:

\[
P = \text{Side 1} + \text{Side 2} + \text{Side 3} + \text{Side 4}
\]

Now, substituting the values:

\[
P = 28 + 27 + 13 + 12
\]

Calculating step-by-step:

\[
28 + 27 = 55
\]
\[
55 + 13 = 68
\]
\[
68 + 12 = 80
\]

Therefore, the perimeter of the trapezoid is:

\[
\boxed{80 \text{ m}}
\]
