How to find perimeter of PQRS

Given, Perimeter of ABCD = 60.
So essentially , each side of square ABCD = 15
Give SRC = 60° , we know C=90°
SCR = 30° (30-60-90 Triangle)
Sides will be in the ratio of x : √3x : 2x
So , CS = √3x , SD = x , SR = 2x
(CS + SD = CD)
We know CD = 15,
√3x + x = 15 ---- eq’n-(1)
Perimeter of PQRS = SP + PQ + QR + RS = (4 * 2x) = 8x
From eq’n 1 , we know x = 15 / (√3+1)
Therefore Perimeter = 8 * ( 15 / (√3+1) )= 43.92
