The height of the figure shown at the right is 20 inches, and the width of the figure is 10 inches. All the line segments are either vertical or horizontal. Calculate the perimeter of this figure.
a.30 inches
b.50 inches
c.60 inches
d.Cannot be determined from the given information.
To calculate the perimeter of the figure, we need to add up the lengths of all the sides.
Looking at the figure, we can see that there are two vertical sides and two horizontal sides.
The height of the figure is given as 20 inches, which means that each vertical side has a length of 20 inches.
The width of the figure is given as 10 inches, which means that each horizontal side has a length of 10 inches.
Therefore, the perimeter of the figure can be calculated by adding up the lengths of all the sides:
Perimeter = 20 inches + 10 inches + 20 inches + 10 inches
Perimeter = 60 inches
So, the correct answer is option c. 60 inches
