1. **State the problem:**
We need to find the lengths of the bases $AB$ and $DC$ of the isosceles trapezoid $ABCD$ to calculate its perimeter.
2. **Given information:**
- $WY$ is the midsegment of trapezoid $ABCD$.
- $WY = 12.6$.
- $BY = 4.24$.
- $AD = BC$ (isosceles trapezoid).
3. **Recall the midsegment property of trapezoids:**
The midsegment length $WY$ is the average of the lengths of the two bases:
$$WY = \frac{AB + DC}{2}$$
4. **Use the formula to find $AB + DC$:**
Multiply both sides by 2:
$$2 \times WY = AB + DC$$
$$2 \times 12.6 = AB + DC$$
$$25.2 = AB + DC$$
5. **Find the perimeter:**
The perimeter $P$ of trapezoid $ABCD$ is:
$$P = AB + BC + CD + DA$$
Since $AD = BC$, let $AD = BC = x$.
6. **Find $x$ using given lengths:**
Given $BY = 4.24$ and $BY \cong CY$, and $WY$ is the midsegment, the legs $AD$ and $BC$ are equal.
Assuming $WD = 4.24$ (from problem statement), then $AD = BC = 4.24$.
7. **Calculate perimeter:**
$$P = AB + BC + CD + DA = (AB + DC) + 2 \times AD = 25.2 + 2 \times 4.24 = 25.2 + 8.48 = 33.68$$
**Final answers:**
- $AB + DC = 25.2$
- Perimeter $P = 33.68$
