Given

$JA = 8$

$AL = 8$

$CK = 10$

Required

The perimeter of JKL

Since the mid-points of the tangents are A, B and C respectively.

$JK = JB + BK$

Where

$JB = JA = 8$

$BK = CK = 10$

So:

$JK =8+10 =18$

$JL = JA + AL$

$JL = 8+11 = 19$

$KL = CL + CK$

Where

$CL =AL = 11$

So:

$KL = 11+10 = 21$

So, the perimeter (P) is:

$P = JK+ KL +JL$

$P = 18 + 19 + 21$

$P = 58$
