The figure can be understood in either of two ways:

(*) A rectangle of 92 x 40 from which a trapezoid of bases 5 and 92 and height 35 has been removed.

(*) Two congruent trapezoids and one square; the trapezoids having bases 5 and 40 and of "height" .

Choose the viewpoint you like and find the perimeter. The slanted segments are the trickier part. You already have these known sides: 40, 92, 40(again), and 5. Next, project a segment from the lower 5 foot segment so it intersects each of the 40 foot sides and identify two congruent RIGHT triangles. The slanted segment is a hypotenuse.

Each triangle is of legs , and .
Pythagorean Theorem will give you the hypotenuse distance.

, and the figure has two of these.
