2P ΔAPL = 30

1) Let's calculate the 2P of triangle APL

Since we have in P the incenter of the triangle, and three medians there is a ratio of 2:1 between the segments of each median.

The incenter implies that there is a circumference inside the triangle so

JP≅ PL ≅PK because these are the radius of that circumference

T

hen PL

13² = AL²+5² Pythagorean theorem

169=AL² +25

169-25= AL²

AL = 12

AL = 12 then AC = 6 Median ratio

AJ = 12 then JB = 6 Median ratio

Then we have isosceles triangles inside what allows us to write

So the Perimeter of ABC is:

2P = 18 +18 +12

2P = 36+12

2P =48

And the Perimeter of APL is 2P = 12 +13 +5

ΔAPL = 12 +18

2P ΔAPL = 30
