Answer:

40 units

Explanation:

The slanted side is the hypotenuse of a triangle that is 8 units high and 6 units wide. Its length can be found from the Pythagorean theorem:

d² = 6² + 8² = 100

d = √100 = 10

The perimeter is the sum of side lengths. Those lengths can be found by counting grid squares. Clockwise from the upper left corner, the sum of side lengths is ...

P = 8 + 10 + 14 + 8

P = 40 . . . units
