Pick one
We note first that has a right angle and a angle and so it is a -- triangle.
Since , then using the
known ratios of side lengths, we can see that and .
Next, we note that
has two angles and so is
an isosceles right-angled triangle.
This means that and
.
Also, .
Further, since is a
straight angle, then Since has a angle and a right-angle, it is
also a -- triangle.
Using the known ratios of sides, since , we have and
.
Therefore, the perimeter of is
