![**Geometry: Triangle Rotation and Perimeter Calculation**
**Problem:**
Triangle △ABC is rotated 135° about point S to create △A'B'C'.
**Diagram Analysis:**
The original triangle △ABC has the following properties:
- Vertex A with an angle of 20°.
- Side AB with a length of 5.8 units.
- Side BC with a length of 5.1 units.
After rotation around point S:
- Vertex B' has an angle of 101°.
- Side A'B' has a length of 5.8 units.
- Side B'C' has a length of 2 units.
**Question:**
What is the perimeter of △ABC?
**Solution Approach:**
To calculate the perimeter of △ABC, sum the lengths of all its sides:
- AB = 5.8 units.
- BC = 5.1 units.
- CA = unknown.
Since the rotation does not affect the lengths of the sides of the triangle, CA in △ABC is equal to C'A' in △A'B'C', which we find through geometric interpretation or additional given information in a broader context.
The final solution involves adding all sides:
\[ \text{Perimeter of } △ABC = AB + BC + CA \]
**Detailed Step-by-Step Solution:**
1. Identify the given sides of △ABC and fill in the missing length if necessary.
2. Sum the lengths of all sides.
Note: The solution would typically include all necessary length measurements and any required supplementary geometric principles to find missing side lengths.
