STEP 1: find side $ a $

To find side $ a $ use formula:

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

After substituting $d_1 = 30\, \text{cm}$ and $d_2 = 16\, \text{cm}$ we have:

$$ \left( 30\, \text{cm} \right)^{2} + \left( 16\, \text{cm} \right)^{2} = 4 \cdot a^2 $$ $$ 900\, \text{cm}^2 + 256\, \text{cm}^2 = 4 \cdot a^2 $$ $$ 4 \cdot a^2 = 1156\, \text{cm}^2 $$ $$ a^2 = \frac{ 1156\, \text{cm}^2 }{ 4 } $$ $$ a^2 = 289\, \text{cm}^2 $$ $$ a = \sqrt{ 289\, \text{cm}^2 } $$$$ a = 17\, \text{cm} $$

STEP 2: find perimeter $ P $

To find perimeter $ P $ use formula:

$$ P = 4 \cdot a $$

After substituting $a = 17\, \text{cm}$ we have:

$$ P = 4 \cdot 17\, \text{cm} $$ $$ P = 68\, \text{cm} $$
