1. **Stating the problem:** We have an irregular L-shaped polygon with given side lengths: bottom horizontal length 32 cm, left vertical height 22 cm, top left horizontal segment 8 cm, and right vertical segment 15 cm. We need to find the perimeter $M$ and area $N$ of this figure, then calculate $M + N$.
2. **Understanding the shape:** The polygon is L-shaped with right angles. To find the perimeter, we sum all outer side lengths. To find the area, we can split the L-shape into two rectangles and sum their areas.
3. **Finding missing side lengths:**
- The total vertical height on the left is 22 cm.
- The right vertical segment is 15 cm.
- The vertical segment between these two is $22 - 15 = 7$ cm.
- The bottom horizontal length is 32 cm.
- The top left horizontal segment is 8 cm.
- The horizontal segment between these two is $32 - 8 = 24$ cm.
4. **Perimeter calculation:** The perimeter $M$ is the sum of all outer sides:
$$M = 22 + 8 + 15 + 24 + 7 + 32$$
Calculate step-by-step:
$$22 + 8 = 30$$
$$30 + 15 = 45$$
$$45 + 24 = 69$$
$$69 + 7 = 76$$
$$76 + 32 = 108$$
So, $M = 108$ cm.
5. **Area calculation:** Split the L-shape into two rectangles:
- Rectangle 1 (left vertical part): width = 8 cm, height = 22 cm
- Rectangle 2 (bottom horizontal part): width = 24 cm, height = 15 cm
Calculate areas:
$$\text{Area}_1 = 8 \times 22 = 176$$
$$\text{Area}_2 = 24 \times 15 = 360$$
Total area $N$:
$$N = 176 + 360 = 536$$ cm²
6. **Final result:**
$$M + N = 108 + 536 = 644$$
**Answer:** $M + N = 644$
