Answer:

156.9

Explanation:

∠x=4(∠y)

Angles in a triangle add to 180:

∠x+∠y+90=180

4(∠y)+∠y=90

5(∠y)=90

∠y=18

The left side of the parallelogram is opposite ∠y, which we know, and we know the adjacent (marked as 57) so we can use tan:

tanA=opposite/adjacent

tan18=(side)/57

side=18.5204226853

Similarly, we can find the base of the shape using cos:

cosA=adjacent/hypotenuse

cos18=57/(base)

base=59.9333467816

Perimeter = 2(side)+2(base)

=2(18.5204226853)+2(59.9333467816)

=37.0408453706+119.866693563

=156.907538934

≈156.9
