Solution
Let , as in the diagram. Thus, from the problem, . Because , by Power of a Point, we know that is cyclic. Thus, we know that , so, by the congruency of vertical angles and subsequently AA Similarity, we know that . Thus, we have the proportion , or, by substitution, . Solving this equation for yields . Similarly, we know that , so, like before, we can see that . Thus, we have the proportion , or, by substitution, . Solving for yields .
Now, we can use Ptolemy's Theorem on cyclic and solve for : \begin{align*} x \cdot 2x + 2x \cdot \frac3 2 x &= (6+4)(8+3) \\ 5x^2 &= 110 \\ x^2 &= 22 \\ x &= \pm \sqrt{22} \end{align*} Because , . Thus, the perimeter of is . Thus, .
