To calculate the perimeter of the figure, we need to add the lengths of all its sides.

The given figure is composed of several sides with the following measurements:

• One side is 7 cm.
• One side is 8 cm.
• One side is 7.5 cm.
• One side is 14 cm.
• The remaining two sides are both 3 cm.

Now, let's add these values:

$7 + 8 + 7.5 + 14 + 3 + 3 = 42.5 \, \text{cm}$

So, the perimeter of the figure is 42.5 cm.

However, it appears that there are some rounding options given for the answer. You might want to verify whether a slight adjustment is necessary based on rounding conventions or any missing side lengths. Could you double-check if all the sides are provided or are there hidden sides?

Would you like me to check anything else or provide further details on how to approach this? Let me know!

Follow-up Questions:

1. How do you calculate the area of a figure when given the perimeter?
2. What does the term "polygon" mean, and how does it relate to the shape in the image?
3. What are the differences between regular and irregular polygons?
4. Can you find the perimeter of a figure with curved edges? How is that calculated?
5. How does adding or removing a side affect the perimeter of a polygon?

Tip: When calculating the perimeter of complex shapes, break them into smaller recognizable shapes (like rectangles or triangles) and sum the perimeters of each part.
