To find the perimeter of the given shape, we need to sum up the lengths of all its sides. The shape is an irregular polygon, so we'll identify all the side lengths and add them together.

From the image:
- The top side measures 18 cm.
- The right vertical side measures 16 cm.
- The bottom side of the right rectangle measures 16 cm.
- The left vertical side measures 19 cm.
- The horizontal side within the shape (connecting two rectangles) measures 16 cm.
- The vertical side within the shape measures 3 cm (since 19 cm - 16 cm = 3 cm).

Now, the perimeter \( P \) is calculated as follows:

\[
P = 18 \text{ cm} + 16 \text{ cm} + 16 \text{ cm} + 19 \text{ cm} + 16 \text{ cm} + 3 \text{ cm}
\]

\[
P = 88 \text{ cm}
\]

So, the perimeter of the shape is 88 cm.
