Answer:

72.5

Explanation:

To find the perimeter of the triangle, add all three sides. Since triangles TSR and TFE are similar, the missing side of TFE can be found using proportions.


(25)/(40)=(x)/(22)

Solve by cross multiplying:

40(x) = 25(22)

40x = 550

x = 13.75

Find the other side by repeating the process.


(25)/(40)=(y)/(54)

Solve by cross multiplying:

40(y) = 25(54)

40y = 1350

x = 33.75

The perimeter is 25 + 13.75 + 33.75 = 72.5
