In triangle ABC, AB = AC = 25 and BC = 20. Points D, E and F are on sides AB, BC and AC respectively, such that DE and EF are parallel to AC  and AB respectively. What is the perimeter of parallelogram ADEF?

i mean $ \overset{-}{AD}=\overset{-}{FE} $

 

knowing all that we can say that $\overset{-}{DB}$ and $ \overset{-}{DE} $ form an isosceles triangle so yes logically we get $\overset{-}{AB}=\overset{-}{DE}+\overset{-}{FE}=25 $

 

for the other side we can say that $ \overset{-}{AF}  $ and $\overset{-}{DE}$ have the same measurement -- so does $\overset{-}{FE}$ and $\overset{-}{FC}$ -- thus we can say that $\overset{-}{AC} = \overset{-}{DE} +  \overset{-}{FE}  = 25$ 

 

so yes, since we have the two sides just add them together 

 

although may i know why i cannot edit the original answer?

look at the image -- since $ \overset{-}{AD} = \overset{-}{AC}   $ then we can say that $  \overset{-}{AB}=\overset{-}{DE}+\overset{-}{FE}=25    $


its the exact same from the other point of view, so its P would be $  25+25  $, which is equal to 50
