To calculate the perimeter of a trapezoid, we need the lengths of all four sides. Given that we do not have the image or specific coordinates, I can guide you through the calculation process.

  1. Identify the coordinates of the trapezoid's vertices. Let's say you have the coordinates for the vertices A, B, C, and D.

  2. Calculate the lengths of the sides using the distance formula: \[ \text{Distance} = \sqrt{(x_2 - x_1)^2 + (y_2 - y_1)^2} \] For sides AB, BC, CD, and DA, substitute the respective coordinates into the formula.

  3. Sum the lengths to find the perimeter: \[ \text{Perimeter} = AB + BC + CD + DA \]

  4. Round your final result to the nearest tenth.

If you provide the specific coordinates, I can assist you with calculating the perimeter step-by-step! Otherwise, you will need to perform these calculations with the image you are using.
