I’m currently working on my quadrilaterals unit (specifically with trapezoids & kites) and I need major help on a lot of these problems.

Here’s one of them I need help solving (an answer would be preferable, but also an explanation.):

Answer: 29.2

Explanation:

The lengths of the two longer legs are both
√(8^2 + 4^2)=√(80)

The lengths of the two shorter legs are both
\sqrt{4^2+4^(2)}=√(32)

So
P=2√(80)+2√(32) \approx 29.2
