1. the formula of the required perimeter is P=a+b+c, where c- hypotenuse.
2. apply the Pythagorean theorem: a²+b²=c², where c - hypotenuse, then calculate value of 'x' (attention! x>0, the length is positive value !)
3. substitute 'x' into the formula of the required perimeter. The result is 40.
PS. All the details are in the attached picture, answer is marked with red colour.
