Using the triangle proportionality theorem, the perimeter can be determined as: 114.61 units.

What is the Triangle Proportionality Theorem?

The triangle proportionality theorem states that if a line segment that is parallel to one side of a triangle, joins the other two sides of the triangle, it divides the two sides proportionally.

Thus, find VW using the triangle proportionality theorem:

VW/WX = VZ/ZY

  • Substitute

VW/36 = (44 - 27.5)/27.5

VW/36 = 16.5/27.5

VW = 21.6

Find XY using Pythagorean Theorem:

XY = √(VX² - VY²)

XY = √(57.6² - 44²)

XY = 37.17

Find WZ:

WZ/XY = VZ/VY

  • Substitute

WZ/37.17 =  16.5/44

WZ = 13.94

Perimeter of Trapezoid WXYZ = WX + XY + YZ + WZ

Perimeter = 36 + 37.17 + 27.5 + 13.94

Perimeter = 114.61 units.
