Answer:

A. 62 units

Explanation:

To find the perimeter of the rectangle, you have to use the Pythagorean theorem.

a^2 + b^2 = c^2 - Formula

24^2 + b^2 = 25^2 - Plug in values

576 + b^2 = 625 - Simplify

b^2 = 49 - Isolate the variable

b = 7 - Solve

After finding the height, find the perimeter.

P = 2b + 2h

P = 2(24) + 2(7)

P = 48 + 14

P = 62 units
