Answer:

28 Units

Explanation:

The perimeter is the distance around the object.

Info: The area is 48 units squared and you're given a 6 for side BE.
This means that side CD is also 6.
6+6 = 12.
(This is the width)

However, you need 2 more sides.
You need to do 48 divided by 6 since the area requires the width multiplied by the length.
48/6 = 8
(This is the length)

Sides BC and ED is 8 meaning 8 + 8 = 16.
Now given our calculations: 12 + 16 is 28 units.

You can verify by doing 6+6+8+8 for perimeter
To check if the 8 matches with the area: Do 8 x 6 which equals 48 Units Squared.
