| In the rectangle ABCD, the diagonals intersect at point O. Find the perimeter of the triangle AOB if CAD = 30 degrees, AC = 12cm.
1. The diagonal AC of the rectangle ABCD is the hypotenuse of the right-angled triangle ACD, and the side of the CD rectangle with the leg opposite to the angle of 30 °.
2.CD = AC / 2 = 12/2 = 6 cm.
3. The side of the rectangle is CD = AB = 6 cm.
4. Based on the fact that the diagonals of the rectangle are equal and are halved at the intersection point, we calculate the sides of the triangle AOB:
AO = OС = 12: 2 = 6 cm.
5. We calculate the perimeter of the triangle AOB:
AO + ВO + AB = 6 + 6 + 6 = 18 cm.
Answer: the perimeter of the triangle AOB is 18 cm.
