| \(12.8^2 + x^2 = 16^2\) oe or \(163.84 + x^2 = 256\) or \((x^2 =)\; 16^2 - 12.8^2\; (= 92.16)\) or \((x^2 =)\; 256 - 163.84\; (= 92.16)\) | M1 |
\((x =)\sqrt{16^2 - 12.8^2}\; (= \sqrt{92.16})\) (= 9.6) or \((x =)\sqrt{256 - 163.84}\; (= \sqrt{92.16})\) (= 9.6) | M1 |
| (12.8 – “9.6”) + “9.6” + “9.6” + 16 + 16 + 16 oe | M1 |

Notes
M1: for applying Pythagoras theorem correctly
Allow \(\cos^{-1}\left(\dfrac{12.8}{16}\right)(= 36.9\ldots)\) and \(\dfrac{x}{\sin(36.9\ldots)} = \dfrac{16}{(\sin 90)}\)
M1: for square rooting
Allow \(x = \dfrac{16}{(\sin 90)} \times \sin(36.9\ldots)\)
M1: (dep on M1) for a complete method to find the perimeter
A1: oe e.g. \(\dfrac{352}{5}\)
