How to get my answer

We know that rectangle EFGD has a width of 3. When we compare this 3 unit width to rectangle ABCD's width, we notice EFGC is 1/10 of ABCD. This means we are dividing by 10. ABCD's length happens to be 10. 10 divided by 10 is 1. EFGD's length is 1. Since we are solving perimeter, the expression would be 2l + 2w (w = 3, l = 1). 1 + 1 + 3 + 3 = 8 units.
