You can put this solution on YOUR website!
You really need first to find the pair of slanted segments on the left and right sides. Your figure shows you some distances to use which form a right triangle.

Either left or right side segment, hypotenuse of a right triangle.
h%5E2=8%5E2%2B16%5E2
h=sqrt%28320%29
h=8sqrt%285%29

Question was for finding perimeter.
2%2A18%2B2%2Ah and you know h.
