Answer:

about 35.18

Explanation:

The Law of Sines tells you the relationship between the sides and angles is ...

KM/sin(L) = KL/sin(M) = LM/sin(K)

We are given LM and angles K and M.

__

The sum of angles is 180°, so the remaining angle is ...

∠K +∠L +∠M = 180°

60° +∠L +45° = 180° . . . . substitute the given angle values

∠L = 75° . . . . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 105°

__

Now, we're in a position to find the missing side lengths.

KM = sin(L)/sin(K)·LM = sin(75°)/sin(60°)·12 ≈ 13.38

KL = sin(M)/sin(K)·LM = sin(45°)/sin(60°)·12 ≈ 9.80

__

The perimeter of ΔKLM is ...

P = KL +KM +LM

P = 9.80 +13.38 +12.00

P = 35.18
