The perimeter of right isosceles ΔABC with midsegment DE is 16 + 8√2.
If right isosceles ΔABC has hypotenuse length h, then the two other sides are congruent.
side a = side b
Using Pythagorean theorem, c^2 = a^2 + b^2
h^2 = a^2 + b^2 a = b
h^2 = 2a^2
a = h/√2
If DE is a midsegment not parallel to the hypotenuse, then it is a segment that connects the midpoints of one side of a triangle and the hypotenuse. See photo for reference.
ΔABC and ΔADE are similar triangles.
a : b : h = a/2 : 4 : h/2
If a/2 = a/2, then b/2 = 4.
b/2 = 4
b = 8
If a = b, then a = 8.
If a = h/√2, then
8 = h/√2
h = 8√2
Solving for the perimeter,
P = a + b + h
P = 8 + 8 + 8√2
P = 16 + 8√2
P = 27.3137085
