What is the perimeter of an isoscolese trapezoid called T R A P if P T is 27.5m and T R is 58.8m and the length of the bisector of segment R A and segment T P is 47.6?

I had to make assumptions about which sides you were referring to but my diagram illustrates my assumptions. It might be different from what you intended.

This is what I think.

PA / 47.6 = 47.6 / 58.8

PA = 47.6 2 / 58.8

PA = 38.53 repeater = approx 38.53m

Therefore the perimeter is 58.7m + 27.5m + 38.53m + 27.5m

If you need to justify any of this it will require more work.
