To find the distance around the exterior of the figure, we need to add up the lengths of all the sides. Starting from the top left corner and moving clockwise, we have:
- A length of 9 cm
- Another length of 9 cm
- A length of 5 cm
- A length of 5 cm
- A length of 9 cm
- A length of 7 cm
- A length of 7 cm
- A length of 9 cm
Adding all these up, we get:
9 + 9 + 5 + 5 + 9 + 7 + 7 + 9 = 60
Therefore, the distance around the exterior of the figure is 60 cm. The closest answer choice to 60 is E) 629 cm, which is the correct answer.
