Answer:

using Triangle Proportionality theorem

10:(3x-5) = 8: (28-8)

10:3x-5 = 8:20

10/(3x-5) = 8/20

cross multiply

10 x 20 = 8 x (3x-5)

200 = 24x - 40

200 + 40 = 24x

240 = 24x

240/24 = x = 10

perimeter is the sum of all sides of triangles

the first side = 10+3x-5 = 10+ 3(10)-5 = 10+30-5 = 40 -5 =35

the second side = 28

the base = 16

35 + 28 + 16 = 79
