Answer 2

perimeter of trapezoid=40 units

Explanation:

trapezoid can be divided in to square and right angle triangle

let ABCD be trapezoid and it is divided in to square ABED and right angle triangle BEC

BC=hypotenuse of right angle triangle

BC=hypotenuse=
`√(l^2+b^2)`

where l= BE and b=EC

given AB=8 units,CD=14 units

EC=14-8=6 units

AD=8 units

BC=
`√(8^2+6^2)`=10 units

perimeter of trapezoid=AB+BC+CD+AD

perimeter of trapezoid=8+10+14+8=40 units

perimeter of trapezoid=40 units answer
