Answer:

36 units

Explanation:

Split the parallelogram into 3 shapes. Two right triangles and one rectangle.

Find the length of all the sides.

Triangle one: Triangle two:

Leg 1: 8 a^2+b^2=c^2 Leg 1: 8 a^2+b^2=c^2

Leg 2: 6 8^2 + 6^2 = c^2 Leg 2: 6 8^2 + 6^2 = c^2

Hypotenuse: ? 64 + 36 = c^2 Hypotenuse: ? 64 + 36 = c^2

100=c^2 100=c^2

c=10 c=10

Hypotenuse One: 10 units

Hypotenuse Two: 10 units

Base One Length: 8 units

Base Two Length: 8 units

Add all these numbers up and your answer would be 36 units.
