Answer:

x = 4.5 , perimeter = 52

Explanation:

two tangent segments to a circle from the same external point are congruent , then

PS = PT , that is

2x = 9 ( divide both sides by 2 )

x = 4.5

then

PS = 2x = 2 × 4.5 = 9

Also

QT = QU = 4

RU = RS = 13

the perimeter is then the sum of the segments

QU + RU + RS + PS + PT + QT

= 4 + 13 + 13 + 9 + 9 + 4

= 52
