Expert Solution & Answer
Check Mark

Answer to Problem 29RP

The perimeter is 50.

Explanation of Solution

Given information:

  VS¯ ≅ VR¯WT¯ bisects VS¯ and VR¯.

Formula used:

The below property is used:

  If WT¯ bisects VS¯ and VR¯,it will each side of triangle into two equal parts,i.e. VW¯ = VT¯ = WR¯ = TS¯.

Calculation:

  Geometry For Enjoyment And Challenge, Chapter 2, Problem 29RP

From the above figure, we get

  Since VT¯ ≅WR¯           2 x = x + 4           x = 4

  Since VT¯ ≅VW¯           2 x = y + 5           y = 3

  ∴RS = 6y = 18, VW = y + 5 = 8, VT = 2x = 8,WR = x + 4 = 8 and TS = WR = 8.

Perimeter is sum of all sides of the triangle.

  Perimeter = RS + ST + VT + VW + WR              = 18 + 8 + 8 + 8 + 8              = 50
