Formula for perimeter of a rectangle of dimensions x and y is
2x%2B2y.

Your given dimensions (two sides are sqrt%282%29 and two sides are sqrt%285%29) are sqrt%282%29 and sqrt%285%29.

Perimeter for your example is highlight%28highlight_green%28highlight_green%282%2Asqrt%282%29%2B2%2Asqrt%285%29%29%29%29.
