To compute the perimeter of a trapezoid given its vertices in the coordinate plane, you can follow these steps:

  1. Identify the coordinates of the vertices. Let’s hypothetically assume the trapezoid has vertices at points \( A(x_1, y_1) \), \( B(x_2, y_2) \), \( C(x_3, y_3) \), and \( D(x_4, y_4) \).

  2. Use the distance formula to calculate the lengths of the sides: \[ d = \sqrt{(x_2 - x_1)^2 + (y_2 - y_1)^2} \]

    You will need to apply this formula for each side of the trapezoid:

    • Length \( AB \)
    • Length \( BC \)
    • Length \( CD \)
    • Length \( DA \)
  3. Add the lengths together to find the perimeter: \[ P = AB + BC + CD + DA \]

  4. Round your answer to the nearest tenth as required.

However, since I do not have the specific coordinates of the trapezoid from the image or further details, I can't provide the exact numerical answer. Please provide the coordinates of the trapezoid's vertices, or refer to the image for the correct calculations, if you have it.
