What is the perimeter of the figure ( 50in 10in 40in 18in )

50 + 18 + (50 - 10) + (40 - 18) + 10 + 40 = 180

The perimeter is given by adding up all the side lengths; we are given all but two of the lengths, which we must calculate:

(1) The unknown side length that joins that which is 18 in. would be equal to 50 - 10 = 40 in.
(2) The unknown side length that joins that which is 10 in. would be equal to 40 - 18 = 22 in.

Thus the perimeter would be equal to:
50 + 40 + 10 + 18 + 40 + 22
= 180 in.

I can't figure out how to show the actual graph, but top solve the problem, you 
take any x or y value (I like to start at 0) and plug the number into the equation.
