The image shows a trapezoid with the following side lengths:

- Two equal non-parallel sides of 5 cm each.
- A shorter parallel side of 7 cm.
- A longer parallel side of 11 cm.

To calculate the perimeter of the trapezoid, we sum the lengths of all the sides:

\[
\text{Perimeter} = 5 \, \text{cm} + 5 \, \text{cm} + 7 \, \text{cm} + 11 \, \text{cm}
\]

\[
\text{Perimeter} = 28 \, \text{cm}
\]

Thus, the perimeter of the trapezoid is **28 cm**.
