The perimeter is

Answer 1

To find the perimeter of a shape made up of rectangles and squares, we first need to sum the lengths of all the sides. However, it’s likely that these lengths are not all individual sides of a specific polygon but rather measurements that may require some setup to visualize the overall shape.

Given the dimensions:

1. \(9.5 \, \text{cm}\) (or \(9\) and \(1/2\) cm)
2. \(2 \, \text{cm}\)
3. \(3.5 \, \text{cm}\) (or \(3\) and \(1/2\) cm)
4. \(6 \, \text{cm}\)
5. \(6 \, \text{cm}\)
6. \(8 \, \text{cm}\)

Assuming these measurements are for individual sides that would connect to a shape, the total will be the sum of these dimensions.

Let's compute the total:

\[
P = 9.5 + 2 + 3.5 + 6 + 6 + 8
\]

Calculating that step-by-step:
- \(9.5 + 2 = 11.5\)
- \(11.5 + 3.5 = 15\)
- \(15 + 6 = 21\)
- \(21 + 6 = 27\)
- \(27 + 8 = 35\)

Thus, the total perimeter \(P\) is:

\[
P = 35 \, \text{cm}
\]

Therefore, the perimeter of the shape is \(35 \, \text{cm}\).
