Answer:

22 units

Explanation:

What we know is that the legs of the triangle is 4 units (a) and the other is three units (b).

Plug these values into the formula and solve for c

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

4^2 + 3^2 = c^2

16 + 9 = c^2

25 = c^2

√25 = √c^2

c = 5

Then, add the values.

5 + 5 + 4 +5 + 3

= 22 units
