Wait patiently for a helper to come along.
Once someone helps you, say thank you and close the thread with:

what's the question?

#

oh shoot

#

sorry what is the peremeter of the gray triangle

This is not a crazy hard problem

#

is the 300 224 168 suppose to be the area of the regions?

@primal nimbus

#

Still need help?

#

we know the areas of the 3 white regions and we also know either the height or base length for the 3 different regions

#

form equations for each region and solve for missing value, then using pythagoras you can solve for the perimiter of the gray triangle

primal nimbus thanks for the help blime

subtract the areas 300/224/168 from the whole ares,

#

SO you get the area of the grey triangle.

#

Then you have to form three pythagoras equations

#

And solve

#

100x/2=300

#

x=6

#

what

#

#

assuming 300 is the area of that first triangle

#

so either its crazy out of scale or 300 is the length of the side of the triangle
