Math Stumpers

Solution:
Below we have grouped the vertical segments into collections whose lengths add up to 6 m. There are 12 of these collections, so we have 12 x 6 m = 72 m of vertical segments.

Similarly, we have grouped the horizontal segments into collections whose lengths add up to 11 m. There are two of these collections, so we have 2 x 11 m = 22 m of horizontal segments.

The total perimeter of this object is 72 m + 22 m = 94 m.
