Explanation

To solve the problem, we need to find the greatest perimeter of a right-angled triangle with integer sides, given that the inradius \( r = 4 \).

### Step-by-Step Solution:

1. **Understanding the Inradius Formula**:
The inradius \( r \) of a right triangle can be calculated using the formula:
\[ r = \frac{a + b - c}{2} \]
where \( a \) and \( b \) are the legs of the triangle, and \( c \) is the hypotenuse.

2. **Setting Up the Equation**:
Given \( r = 4 \), we can set up the equation:
\[ 4 = \frac{a + b - c}{2} \]
Multiplying both sides by 2 gives:
\[ a + b - c = 8 \quad \text{(Equation 1)} \]

3. **Using the Pythagorean Theorem**:
For a right triangle, we also have:
\[ a^2 + b^2 = c^2 \quad \text{(Equation 2)} \]

4. **Expressing \( c \)**:
From Equation 1, we can express \( c \) in terms of \( a \) and \( b \):
\[ c = a + b - 8 \]

5. **Substituting into the Pythagorean Theorem**:
Substitute \( c \) into Equation 2:
\[ a^2 + b^2 = (a + b - 8)^2 \]
Expanding the right side:
\[ a^2 + b^2 = a^2 + b^2 + 64 - 16a - 16b \]
Simplifying gives:
\[ 0 = 64 - 16a - 16b \]
Rearranging this leads to:
\[ 16a + 16b = 64 \quad \Rightarrow \quad a + b = 4 \quad \text{(Equation 3)} \]

6. **Finding \( c \)**:
Substitute \( a + b = 4 \) back into the expression for \( c \):
\[ c = 4 - 8 = -4 \]
This is not possible since \( c \) must be positive. Thus, we need to explore integer values for \( a \) and \( b \) that satisfy both equations.

7. **Exploring Integer Solutions**:
We can express \( a \) and \( b \) as:
\[ a = x + 4, \quad b = y + 4 \]
where \( x \) and \( y \) are non-negative integers. Now we can rewrite the equations:
\[ (x + 4) + (y + 4) - c = 8 \quad \Rightarrow \quad x + y + 8 - c = 8 \quad \Rightarrow \quad x + y = c \]

8. **Finding Integer Solutions**:
We need to find integer solutions for \( x + y = c \) and \( a^2 + b^2 = c^2 \). Testing various integer combinations for \( a \) and \( b \) while ensuring \( c \) remains an integer can lead to valid triangles.

9. **Maximizing the Perimeter**:
The perimeter \( P \) of the triangle is given by:
\[ P = a + b + c = (x + 4) + (y + 4) + (x + y) = 2(x + y) + 8 \]
To maximize \( P \), we need to maximize \( x + y \).

10. **Finding the Greatest Perimeter**:
After testing various integer combinations, we find that the maximum perimeter occurs when \( a = 36, b = 32, c = 40 \) leading to:
\[ P = 36 + 32 + 40 = 108 \]
However, we need to check the maximum perimeter that satisfies \( r = 4 \) and integer sides.

11. **Final Calculation**:
After checking all combinations, we find that the maximum perimeter satisfying the conditions is:
\[ P = 90 \]

### Conclusion:
The greatest perimeter of the right-angled triangle with integer sides and inradius \( r = 4 \) is **90 units**.
