The step adds two extra 2 m edges, so total = 62 m. For perimeter, trace only the outside boundary once; inner or hidden lines are not counted unless they form part of the edge. For an L-shaped or stepped figure, perimeter follows the outside edge only. Start with the outer rectangle if helpful, then add any extra exposed step edges, and keep the answer as a length unit.","mcq_options":[{"right":"no","answer":"198 m"},{"right":"no","answer":"58 m"},{"right":"yes","answer":"62 m"},{"right":"no","answer":"60 m"}],"multi_answers":"no","subject_terms":[{"id":2746,"title":"Mensuration","slug":"mensuration"}],"topic_terms":[{"id":2862,"title":"Composite Perimeter","slug":"composite-perimeter"}],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mcqacademy.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/mcq\/20360","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mcqacademy.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/mcq"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mcqacademy.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/mcq"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mcqacademy.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/39"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mcqacademy.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=20360"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mcqacademy.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=20360"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"topic","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mcqacademy.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topic?post=20360"},{"taxonomy":"subject","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mcqacademy.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/subject?post=20360"},{"taxonomy":"education_level","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mcqacademy.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/education_level?post=20360"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
