Step-by-step explanation:
Calculate the perimeters by summing the measures of the sides.
Left figure ( starting with base and summing clockwise )
x + 5 + (x - 6) + (y - 5) + 6 + y ( brackets are the measure of the indents )
= x + 5 + x - 6 + y - 5 + 6 + y
= 2x + 2y
Right figure ( starting with base and summing clockwise )
x + 2 + (x - 3) + (y - 2) + 3 + y
= x + 2 + x - 3 + y - 2 + 3 + y
= 2x + 2y
Both figures have perimeters of 2x + 2y cm
