Detailed Solution

Let A be the vertex (3, 9), B be the vertex on the y-axis and C be the vertex on the line y
= x. Also, let D (-3, 9) be the reflection of A in the y-axis and E(9, 3) be the reflection of
A in the line y = x. Then AB = BD and AC = CE, and thus the perimeter of ABC is
equal to DB + BC + CE.
But the shortest distance between two points is a straight line, so
DB+BC+CEDE=(9(β))2+(39)2=180=65
This minimum can be obtained by then choosing B and C as the
points of intersection of the line DE with the y-axis and the line y = x, respectively. This
gives us the points B0,152 and C(5,5)This will yield a perimeter for ABC of 65
