Solution

To find the perimeter of the given polygon, you need to add up the lengths of all the sides. The side lengths are 5 cm, 8 cm, 10 cm, 12 cm, and 11 cm. Add these together: \[ 5 \, \text{cm} + 8 \, \text{cm} + 10 \, \text{cm} + 12 \, \text{cm} + 11 \, \text{cm} \] Calculate the sum: \[ = 5 + 8 + 10 + 12 + 11 \] \[ = 46 \, \text{cm} \] The perimeter of the polygon is 46 cm.
