1. **Problem Statement:**
Determine the perimeter and area of the composite polygon with sides 5 in, 6 in, 7 in, 10 in, and 15 in.
2. **Understanding the Shape:**
The shape consists of a trapezoid and two right-angled rectangles stacked on the right.
3. **Perimeter Calculation:**
The perimeter is the sum of all outer side lengths.
4. **Area Calculation:**
To find the area, break the shape into simpler parts: trapezoid and rectangles.
5. **Formula for Trapezoid Area:**
$$\text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} (b_1 + b_2) h$$
where $b_1$ and $b_2$ are the lengths of the two parallel sides and $h$ is the height.
6. **Formula for Rectangle Area:**
$$\text{Area} = \text{length} \times \text{width}$$
7. **Steps to Solve:**
- Identify the bases and height of the trapezoid.
- Calculate the trapezoid area using the formula.
- Calculate the areas of the rectangles.
- Sum all areas to get the total area.
8. **Important:**
Make sure to use consistent units and carefully identify which sides correspond to which parts of the shape.
9. **No final numeric answer is provided as per your request.**
