I am trying to draw this picture with perimeters of the triangles in a larger triangle. I don't know how to start.

Here is a simple example of two triangles with perimeters 5 and 10 that together form a bigger triangle:
scene = GeometricScene[{a, b, c, d},
{d \[Element] Line[{b, c}],
Triangle[{a, b, c}], Triangle[{a, b, d}], Triangle[{a, d, c}],
TriangleMeasurement[Triangle[{a, b, d}], "Perimeter"] == 5,
TriangleMeasurement[Triangle[{a, d, c}], "Perimeter"] == 10
}
];
RandomInstance[scene]
This can be elaborated on to get your triangle, but it will require you to code up all of the constraints.

GeometricSceneI would be very surprised if this is going to work with OP's triangles. $\endgroup$ Commented Sep 9 at 14:35 -
$\begingroup$ Maybe, maybe not. But I'm not going to do all of their work for them. I'm just suggesting an approach for them to try. If it doesn't work, we'll see again. $\endgroup$ Commented Sep 9 at 14:38
