Answer:

Perimeter = 36 units

Explanation:

The figure given has been labelled with letters for easy reference.

Recall: when two tangents segments meet at a point outside the circle, the two segments that are tangent to the circle are congruent to each.

Perimeter = a + b + c + d + e + f

e = 4 (given)

e = f = 4 (tangents drawn from an external point)

b = 10 - f

Substitute

b = 10 - 4

b = 6

b = a = 6 (tangents drawn from an external point)

c = 8 (given)

c = d = 8 (tangents drawn from an external point)

Perimeter = 6 + 6 + 8 + 8 + 4 + 4

Perimeter = 36 units
