Answer:

54 units

Step-by-step explanation:

        We can graph the vertices given to make this easier to solve.

-> See attached.

-> This will help us in finding the lengths of the sides.

-> We can also use mathematics.

8 + 5 = 13 and 8 + 6 = 14

        Next we will find the perimeter.

-> This can be found with either of these formulas:

[] P = 2L + 2W

[] P = W + W + L + L

P = 2L + 2W

P = 2(14) + 2(13)

P = 54

The perimeter of the county is 54 units
