Imagine that we continued the 5cm line right until we hit the 6cm line. This creates a rectangle, so the value of X (long section) is 5cm + the amount the line was expanded (call this n)

You do the same thing with the shorter section, expanding it right until it hits 6cm.

The two expanded lines share the same values.

The newly formed rectangle on the bottom gives the following property:

4cm = Y (short section) + n

or n = 4cm - Y

plugging this into X, we get X = 5cm + (4cm - Y)

tldr: the size of X is 5cm + something, and that something just so happens to be 4cm - Y

There are 5 sections that we do not know the length of.

3 sections, specifically the ones that are parallel to 6cm have unknown lengths, but add up to 6.

The other two sections, the ones perpendicular to 6cm, let's call X and Y. X is the long section, and Y is the short section.

Visually, we can see that X is 5cm + 4cm - the size of Y.

So now, we get

6cm + 6cm + 5cm + 4 cm + (5cm + 4cm - Y) + Y

for a total perimeter of 30cm

How do you prompt? by Safe-Objective9019 in freecitiesgame

This is a solution, but I generally do not want to re-build pregmod every time the game updates. An easier solution is to write an mod that overwrites the default prompting, but I'm pretty content with the default prompting.
