Answer

\boxed{perimeter = 6\sqrt{6} + 10\sqrt{3}}

Steps

Step 1 :Find the side lengths of both squares: sidesquare1=54=36 and sidesquare2=75=53

Step 2 :Find the perimeter of the combined shape: perimeter=2(sidesquare1+sidesquare2)=2(36+53)=66+103

Step 3 :\boxed{perimeter = 6\sqrt{6} + 10\sqrt{3}}
