Answer:

54

Step-by-step explanation

You can't find the other sides, it may seem impossible, but you have to look at this problem in a different way. To find the perimeter of any figure you just need to know the top base, bottom base, right side, and left side.

We see that the top base equals to the bottom base as it is a rectilinear figure. You have to treat the side with 8 and side with 5 as one base. So they equal 13. Now do the same for the bottom.

So, 13 + 13 = 26

The right side is equal to the left side as it is a rectilinear figure, so the right side is 4 + 10 = 14. The left side is also 14.

So 14 + 14 = 28

26 + 28 = 54 units

Sorry, if I couldn't explain properly. I tried my best. As it is hard for me to explain in words. If I could draw it out, I could do better.
