A:
Answer:The perimeter of parallelogram PQRS = 2\sqrt{10}+8\sqrt{2} ⇒ 2nd answerStep-by-step explanation:* Lets revise some properties of the parallelogram- Each two opposite sides are parallel- Each two opposite sides are equal- Its perimeter is the twice the sum of two adjacent sides* Lets solve the problem∵ PQRS is a parallelogram∵ The length of side SR is ∵ The length of side QR is ∵ SR and RQ are two adjacent sides∵ The perimeter of parallelogram PQRS = 2(RQ + SR)∴ The perimeter of parallelogram PQRS = ∵  = ∵  = ∴ The perimeter of parallelogram PQRS =
