Answer:
P = 156 units
Step-by-step explanation:
the perimeter (P) is the sum of the 3 sides of the triangle.
tangents from an external point to the circle are congruent , that is
HK = HJ ( substitute values )
13x - 8 = 7x + 4 ( subtract 7x from both sides )
6x - 8 = 4 ( add 8 to both sides )
6x = 12 ( divide both sides by 2 )
x = 2
Then
HK = HJ = 7x + 4 = 7(2) + 4 = 14 + 4 = 18
and
KI = IL = 21
then
GL = GJ = 60 - 21 = 39
Thus
P = HK + KI + IG + GJ + JH = 18 + 21 + 60 + 39 + 18 = 156 units
