#P=80cm#

Explanation:

The perimeter is the sum of all the sides - the distance around the shape.

Count how many sides there are .... #rarr6#

But there are two sides without lengths shown. Find these first.

The vertical length on the left is #19cm#

On the right side, there is a vertical length of #6cm#

The unknown vertical length is #19-6 = 13cm#

The horizontal line at the bottom is #21cm#
The horizontal line at the top is #10cm#

The missing horizontal distance is #21-10 = 11cm#

Now you have the lengths of all #6# sides, so just add them all together.

#P = 19+10+13+11+6+21 = 80cm#
