\n" ); document.write( "

\n" ); document.write( "Given:
\n" ); document.write( "AC=4*sqrt(3)
\n" ); document.write( "F is the midpoint of AC, so AF=FC=2*sqrt(3)
\n" ); document.write( "DEF is equilateral

\n" ); document.write( "To find: The perimeter of DEF

\n" ); document.write( "Draw BF intersecting DE at G:

\n" ); document.write( "

\n" ); document.write( "BF bisects DE; and the length of BF is 2*sqrt(3) -- same as AF and FC.

\n" ); document.write( "BF divides DEF into two 30-60-90 right triangles.

\n" ); document.write( "Let x be the length of EG; then the side length of DEF is 2x, and FG is x*sqrt(3).

\n" ); document.write( "BGE is an isosceles right triangle, so the length of BG is also x.

\n" ); document.write( "Now we have BF = BG+GF:

\n" ); document.write( "\"2%2Asqrt%283%29=x%2Bx%2Asqrt%283%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"2%2Asqrt%283%29=x%281%2Bsqrt%283%29%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"x=2%2Asqrt%283%29%2F%281%2Bsqrt%283%29%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"x=%282%2Asqrt%283%29%29%281-sqrt%283%29%29%2F%28%281%2Bsqrt%283%29%29%281-sqrt%283%29%29%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"x=%282%2Asqrt%283%29-6%29%2F%281-3%29+=+%286-2%2Asqrt%283%29%29%2F2+=+3-sqrt%283%29\"

\n" ); document.write( "Finally, the perimeter of DEF is \"6x=6%283-sqrt%283%29%29\"

\n" ); document.write( "ANSWER: A \"6%283-sqrt%283%29%29\"

\n" ); document.write( "
