    Hi AlphaPoutine427,

    To solve this, you will have to use the metric relations in a right Triangle: https://www.alloprof.qc.ca/en/students/vl/mathematics/metric-relations-in-a-right-triangle-m1286

    You need to work with differents right triangle to be able to find the missing measures for your rectangle.

    So, in triangle ABC , you will be able to find BD knowing AD and DC.

    Then, in triangle ADB, knowing AD and BD, with Pythagora theorem, you will find AB and then , with one of the metric relations in the right triangle, FB.

    Finally, in triangle BDC, knowing DC and BD, with Pythagora theorem, you will find BC and then , with one of the metric relations in the right triangle, DE.

    Finding DE and FD will hep you out to calculate teh perimeter of ADEB since in a rectangle, you have two pairs of sides with the same measures.

    Hope this is helpful for you.
