Answer: 56 inches

Explanation:

To find the length of each side, use Pythagorean's Theorem, a² + b² = c²

Note the bottom sides are the same length and the top two are the same length.

Bottom sides:

5² + 12² = c²

25 + 144 = c²

169 = c²

13 = c

Top sides:

9² + 12² = c²

81 + 144 = c²

225 = c²

15 = c

Add it all together

13 + 13 + 15 + 15 = 56

The perimeter is 56 inches.

Hope this helps!
