The perimeter of triangle LMP is 84 units.

In a triangle, the midsegment connects the midpoints of two sides and is parallel to the third side. In this case, MP is the midsegment of triangle LNO.

Given:

NO = 36 (length of one side),

LO = 30 (length of another side),

MN = 9 (length of the midsegment).

First, let's find the length of MP. The midsegment of a triangle is half the length of the third side.

Therefore, MP = 0.5 * NO.

MP = 0.5 * NO = 0.5 * 36 = 18

Now, to find the perimeter of triangle LMP, you add the lengths of the three sides:

Perimeter = LO + MP + NO = 30 + 18 + 36 = 84

So, the perimeter of triangle LMP is 84 units.
