We will have the following:

First, we find the missing angle:


A=180-40-49\Rightarrow A=91

Second, we use the law of sines to calculate the missing sides "a" & "c", so

c:


(c)/(\sin (40))=(13)/(\sin(49))\Rightarrow c=(13\sin(40))/(\sin(49))
\Rightarrow c=11.07212515\ldots

a:


(a)/(\sin(91))=(13)/(\sin(49))\Rightarrow a=(13\sin (91))/(\sin (49))
\Rightarrow a=17.22254544\ldots

So:


p=13+17.22254544+11.07212515\Rightarrow p\approx41

So, the perimeter of the triangle is approximately 41 units.
