∠AOB = ∠BOC = ∠COA = 120° (as their sum is 360° )
Angle made by chord AB at O = Angle made by chord BC at O
= angle made by chord CA at O
Hence, AB = BC = CA. So ΔABC is equilateral.
O is the circumcenter of equilateral ΔABC.
AO = radius = 2√3 cm = 2/3 * altitude from A
(O is also the centroid)
Altitude from A = √3/2 * AB
So 2/3 * √3/2 * AB = 2√3 cm
AB = 6 cm
Hence the perimeter = 3 * 6 = 18 cm

Step-by-step explanation:
∠AOB = ∠BOC = ∠COA = 120°
So, AB = BC = CA and ΔABC is equilateral.
O is the circumcenter of equilateral ΔABC.
AO = radius = 2√3 cm = of altitude from A
Altitude from A = √3/2 * AB
So 2/3 * √3/2 * AB = 2√3 cm
AB = 6 cm
∴ Perimeter = 3 * 6 = 18 cm
