The image shows a trapezoid with the following side lengths:

- Top side: 13 inches
- Left side: 9 inches
- Right side: 7 inches
- Bottom side: (not explicitly given but inferred as a straight horizontal side)

To calculate the perimeter \( P \) of the trapezoid, we add all the sides together:

\[
P = 13 \, \text{in} + 9 \, \text{in} + 7 \, \text{in} + \text{bottom side}
\]

However, the length of the bottom side isn't given. If we assume the bottom side is parallel and equal in length to the top side (13 inches), we can calculate:

\[
P = 13 \, \text{in} + 9 \, \text{in} + 7 \, \text{in} + 13 \, \text{in} = 42 \, \text{in}
\]

Thus, the perimeter of the trapezoid is **42 inches**.
