To find the perimeter of the given shape consisting of rectangles, we need to add up the lengths of all the sides that make up the outer boundary of the shape.

Step-by-Step Calculation:

1. Identify all the sides of the shape:

   • Bottom horizontal side: $29$ ft
   • Left vertical side: $16$ ft
   • Top horizontal side: $9$ ft
   • Short horizontal segment next to $9$ ft: $6$ ft
   • Vertical segment between $9$ ft and $6$ ft: $9 - 6 = 3$ ft
   • Right vertical side: $16$ ft

2. Add up the lengths to calculate the perimeter:

   • The perimeter $P$ is the sum of all these sides: $P = 29 + 16 + 9 + 6 + 3 + 16 = 79 \, \text{ft}$

Final Answer:

The perimeter of the shape is 79 ft.
