the given triangle is in 30-60-90 format
side opposite 60 degree has length 6.
In a 30-60-90 triangle sides are in the ratio \(x,x\sqrt{3},2x\)
therefore, \(x\sqrt{3}=6\)
solving for x we get \(x=\frac{6}{\sqrt{3}}=2\sqrt{3}\)
the third side is \(4\sqrt{3}\)
Perimeter = \(6+4\sqrt{3}+2\sqrt{3} = 6+6\sqrt{3}\)
side opposite 60 degree has length 6.
