Answer: 68m

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter of a rectangle = 2(length + width).

To solve the perimeter of the diagram above, the diagram has been broken down into 2 rectangles. Check the attachment for the diagram.

The first rectangle has sides of 4m and 8m. Therefore, the perimeter will be:

= 2(4m + 8m)

= 2(12m)

= 24m

The second rectangle has sides of 6m and 16m. Therefore, the perimeter will be:

= 2(6m + 16m)

= 2(22m)

= 44m

Therefore, the perimeter of the whole diagram will be:

= 24m + 44m

= 68m
