To find the perimeter of the shape, we will sum the lengths of all the outer edges. From your description, it seems we have several dimensions listed:

  • 41 cm
  • 41 cm
  • 12 cm
  • 12 cm
  • 9 cm
  • 11 cm
  • 16 cm

However, we need to clarify how these measurements correspond to the shape.

If we assume these lengths represent the outer edges of a closed shape, then the perimeter can be calculated by simply adding all these lengths together.

Calculating the perimeter:

\[ \text{Perimeter} = 41 + 41 + 12 + 12 + 9 + 11 + 16 \]

Calculating step-by-step:

  1. \( 41 + 41 = 82 \)
  2. \( 82 + 12 = 94 \)
  3. \( 94 + 12 = 106 \)
  4. \( 106 + 9 = 115 \)
  5. \( 115 + 11 = 126 \)
  6. \( 126 + 16 = 142 \)

Thus, the total perimeter of the shape is \( 142 \) cm.
