  • Paper

In △ABC\triangle ABC, AB=AC=28AB=AC=28 and BC=20BC=20. Points D,E,D,E, and FF are on sides AB‾\overline{AB}, BC‾\overline{BC}, and AC‾\overline{AC}, respectively, such that DE‾\overline{DE} and EF‾\overline{EF} are parallel to AC‾\overline{AC} and AB‾\overline{AB}, respectively. What is the perimeter of parallelogram ADEFADEF?
