Answer:

D.
4\sqrt{a^(2)+b^(2)}

Explanation:

We can see the shape can be cut into 4 right triangles. We can use pythagoreans theorem to find the length of the hypotenuse.

The distance from 0 to a represents one side, and the distance from 0 to b represents the other side.

So


a^(2) +b^(2) =C^(2)

(C represents the hypotenuse)

So the hypotenuse can be written as
\sqrt{a^(2) +b^(2) }

Since four of these lines make up the perimeter,

the total perimeter will be
4\sqrt{a^(2)+b^(2)}
