Solution:
Note that:
- AB = EF
- BC = EG = 6x - 8
- 7x - 19 = 2x + 11
- Perimeter of triangle: 24 + 2x + 11 + 6x - 8
Solving for x:
- 7x - 19 = 2x + 11
- => 7x - 2x = 19 + 11
- => 5x = 30
- => x = 30/5 = 6
Substitute the value of x into the expression (24 + 2x + 11 + 6x - 8):
- 24 + 2x + 11 + 6x - 8
- => 24 + 2(6) + 11 + 6(6) - 8
- => 24 + 12 + 11 + 36 - 8
- => 24 + 12 + 3 + 36
- => 75 units
The perimeter of the triangle ABC is 75 units.
