STEP 1: find side $ a $

To find side $ a $ use formula:

$$ d_1^2 + d_2^2 = 4 \cdot a^2 $$

After substituting $d_1 = 4\, \text{cm}$ and $d_2 = 3\, \text{cm}$ we have:

$$ \left( 4\, \text{cm} \right)^{2} + \left( 3\, \text{cm} \right)^{2} = 4 \cdot a^2 $$ $$ 16\, \text{cm}^2 + 9\, \text{cm}^2 = 4 \cdot a^2 $$ $$ 4 \cdot a^2 = 25\, \text{cm}^2 $$ $$ a^2 = \frac{ 25\, \text{cm}^2 }{ 4 } $$ $$ a^2 = \frac{ 25 }{ 4 }\, \text{cm}^2 $$ $$ a = \sqrt{ \frac{ 25 }{ 4 }\, \text{cm}^2 } $$$$ a = \frac{ 5 }{ 2 }\, \text{cm} $$

STEP 2: find perimeter $ P $

To find perimeter $ P $ use formula:

$$ P = 4 \cdot a $$

After substituting $a = \dfrac{ 5 }{ 2 }\, \text{cm}$ we have:

$$ P = 4 \cdot \frac{ 5 }{ 2 }\, \text{cm} $$ $$ P = 10\, \text{cm} $$
