The perimeter of the triangle ABC is 60

How to find the perimeter

To solve for the perimeter, we need to solve for side CD

We solve for CD using Pythagoras theorem we solve AD first before solving for CD

AD = √(20² - 16²)

AD = √(400 - 256)

AD = 12

CD = √(15² - 12²) = 9

Perimeter = AC + AB + BC

Perimeter = 15 + 20 + (16 + 9)

Perimeter = 60
