In the figure, if LK = 6√3 , MK = 12, find the remaining sides of □LMNK and also perimeter of □ LMNK.

In the figure, if LK = 6√3 , MK = 12, find the remaining sides of □LMNK and also perimeter of □ LMNK. 

Solution:
In ∆ MLK, m L = 900 , m K = 300
m M = 600 [Remaining angle of a triangle]
∆ MLK, is a 300 – 600 – 900 triangle
Now, Side opposite to 300 =  1/2 [Hyp]
ML = ½ [MK]
ML = ½ [12]
ML = 6 cm

Now, in ∆ MNK, N = 450 , K = 900 [Given]
M = 450 [Remaining angle of a triangle]
MNK, is a 450 , 45‑0, 900  triangle
side opposite to 450 = 1/2 [Hyp]
MK = KN = 1/2 [MN]
12 = KN = 1/2 [MN]
KN = 12
&
12 = 1/2  [MN]

&
122  = MN



P( LMNK) = LM + MN + NK + LK
P( LMNK) = 6 + 122 +12 + 63   
P( LMNK) = 18 +  122 + 63    
P( LMNK) = 6(3 + 22 +3) cm
