Answer 2

Answer: Last option.

Step-by-step explanation:

Observe the diagram.

The perimeter of the parallelogram will be the sum of the lenghts of its sides. Then:

$P=WX+XY+YZ+WZ$

You know the lenght of the side WZ. This is:

$WZ=\sqrt{26}\ units$

Notice that:

$XY=WZ=\sqrt{26}\ units$

Now, you must find the lenghts of the sides WX and YZ ($WX=YZ$)

Observe that WZ goes from 2 to -2, therefore its lenght is:

$WX=YZ=2-(-2)=4\ units$

Therefore, substituting values, you get that the perimeter of the paralellogram is:

$P=(4+ \sqrt{26}+4+\sqrt{26})\ units\\\\P=2\sqrt{26} +8\ units$
