@Michele_Laino i dont understand this?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I saw online to use AB + CD = BC + DA

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

first step: we have a theorem which allows us to write this: \(BC=CD\) \(AB=AH\) \(DE=FE\) \(HG=GF\)

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

so we can write: \(BC=AC-AB=AC-AH=7-3=...\)

4?

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

correct! so we can write this: \(AB=AH=3\) \(BC=CD=4\) \(DE=EF=5\) \(GF=HG=EG-5=...?\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

7?

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

correct! so, the requested perimeter, is: \(AC+CD+EG+GA=7+9+12+10=...?\)

38! thank you (:
