Question

there is a triangle ABC,
inside the triangle a square of side length "x" has been drawn... with on vertex on AB, one on AC and two on BC....
Find the perimeter of the triangle...

Answer 1

Is ABC equilateral?

Answer 2

I asked 4 informations 2 but tht's it....no further information...O.o

Answer 3

Do you have the picture of it?

Answer 4

No i don't...a friend of mine asked me this...no pic...sorry :(

Answer 5

i guess it mus be an equilateral,otherwise square is hard to fit inside

Answer 6

|I can't even imagine how it may b..O.o

Answer 7

means with vertices on the sides

Answer 8

Assume it is equilateral....how do u solve it?

Answer 9

Draw the height line and notice that you have two similar triangles.

Answer 10

well actually three similar triangles

Answer 11

we want triangle's perimeter...

Answer 12

yes, I just give you a hint since I know that you are capable of doing this :)

Answer 13

doesn't the height split the triangle in 2 triangles? where did the 3rd come from? O.o

Answer 14

correct but you have another triangle on the right of your square

Answer 15

which is already there before you split by the height

Answer 16

I think i got it...i think i'm solving it...can u just tell me wht's h=? in a equilateral triangle? i don't remember it...:(:(

Answer 17

you can use pythagorean to find the h in terms of the length of the triangle

Answer 18

No i'm not looking 4 this 1...cause i'll use this later...it is a*sqr2/2 right?

Answer 19

I mean if you forget you can always use the Pythagorean theorem to find out that.

Answer 20

Yea Ok...:) Thnx a lot :)
