The formula to calculate the Perimeter of a Trapezoid is:
\[ P = \text{Short Base} + \text{Long Base} + \text{Short Leg} + \text{Long Leg} \]
The Perimeter of a Trapezoid is the total length of all the boundary lines of the trapezoid. The Short Base is the shorter side among the pair of parallel sides, the Long Base is the longer side among the pair of parallel sides, the Short Leg is the shorter side among the pair of non-parallel sides, and the Long Leg is the longer side among the pair of non-parallel sides.
Let's assume the following values:
Using the formula:
\[ P = 5 + 15 + 9 + 11 = 40 \]
The Perimeter is 40 Meters.
