In an isosceles triangle ABC, the segment BD is the median drawn to the base. Find the perimeter of triangle ABC if ABD = 12 cm, BD = 4 cm.
The median divides the base of AC in half, AD = CD = AC / 2.
The perimeter of the triangle ABC is equal to: Ravs = AB + BC + AC = AB + BC + AD + CD = 2 * AB + 2 * AD = 2 * (AB + AD).
The area of the triangle ABD is equal to: Ravd = AB + BD + AD = 12 cm.
(AB + AD) = 12 – BD = 12 – 4 = 8 cm.
Then Ravs = (AB + AD) * 2 = 8 * 2 = 16 cm.
Answer: The perimeter of triangle ABC is 16 cm.
