square I Area = 150
side+=+sqrt%282%2A3%2A5%2A5%29
= 5sqrt%286%29
perimeter =+4%2A5sqrt%286%29
Perimeter = 20%2Asqrt%286%29
square II
area =54
side = sqrt%282%2A3%2A3%2A3%29
side =3%2Asqrt%286%29
perimeter = 12%2Asqrt%286%29
Add them up
Total perimeter = 5%2Asqrt%286%29%2B20%2Asqrt%286%29%2B12%2Asqrt%286%29
=37%2Asqrt%286%29cm
