Problem Statement

There is a rhombus with acute angle bb and side aa. Two parallel lines, the distance between which is equal to the height of the rhombus, intersect all four sides of the rhombus. What can be the sum of the perimeters of two triangles cut off from a rhombus by straight lines? (These two triangles lie outside the strip between parallel lines.)
