The side lengths of an acute triangle are three numbers of which the largest is by four greater than the smallest, and the middle one is the arithmetic mean of the remaining two. The height of the triangle drawn to the middle-sized side divides the triangle into two parts whose areas are in a ratio of 3:2. Calculate the perimeter of the given triangle.
