Since quadrilateral has
three right angles (at , and ), it must have a fourth right angle at
.
Thus, is a rectangle, which
means that and .
The perimeter of is which is the perimeter
of quadrilateral of .
But quadrilateral has four
right angles, and so is a rectangle.
Also, , so is a square, and so the perimeter of
equals Finally, $QX
= PX - PQ = PX - 10 = XT - 10 = XT - ST = XS$, which means that
is isosceles as well
as being right-angled at .
By the Pythagorean Theorem, $QX^2 + XS^2 =
QS^22 QX^2 =
8^2QX^2 = 32$.
Since , then $QX = 2} =
Thus, the perimeter of is
$40 + 4 = 40 + 62.6$.
(We could have left this as $40 + 62.6$.)
Of the given choices, this is closest to 63.
