Step-by-step solution

In the statement, we have two rectangles that are connected by a common side,

The left quadrilateral, AEFD, has a known side - AD

The right quadrilateral, EBCF, also has only one known side: FC

In the question, we are asked for the perimeter of the rectangle ABCD,

For this, we need its sides, and since the opposite sides in a rectangle are equal, we need at least two adjacent sides.

We are given the side AD, but the side DC is only partially given.

We have no way of finding the missing part: DF, so we have no way of answering the question.

This is the solution!
