Answer:

82

Explanation:

divide this shape into a triangle and rectangle and use 24 as the base of the triangle using the Pythagoras theorem you get that the perpendicular is 7 and since 13 is also parallel to that side, 13+7=20 so one side equals 20 one side equals 25 one side equals 24 and one side equals 13 now add all of these to get 82
