8+6=14 of half of the distance of the room.
So total sides distance covered 2*14=28
And there is diagonals so do diagonals =√{(8^2)+(6^2)}= 10 so,
Ans is 10+24 = 34.
But, here they say about diagonal but not single diagonal so if we consider both diagonals the answer is = 34+10= 44.

From the above diagram,
AB = DC = 8, BC=AD=6 and the diagonal AC form a Pythagoras theorem from both the triangles(ABC and ACD).
Finally, the required distance will be;
AB + DC + BC + AD + AC = 38.
AB = DC = 8, BC=AD=6 and the diagonal AC form a Pythagoras theorem from both the triangles(ABC and ACD).
Finally, the required distance will be;
AB + DC + BC + AD + AC = 38.

@K Anil.
They have clearly mentioned in the question that "a diagonal" that means a single diagonal because 'a' article is used for a single thing or element.

Since its a parallelogram so AB = DC and BC = AD and also ADC is a right triangle (ANGLE ADC = 90°). By this we can find the solution.

@Vaishali that actually doesn't matter.
You can take BD also as a diagonal even then the answer will be the same.

Here, AB and DC are opposite and also BC and DA are opposite so how it can be consider?

Why are you taken the 8+6+8+6 in double?
Please explain.
