problem

The measure of one of the smaller base angles of an isosceles trapezoid is 60∘60^\circ. The shorter base is 5 inches long and the altitude is 232 \sqrt{3} inches long. What is the number of inches in the perimeter of the trapezoid? [asy] import markers; import olympiad; size(150); import geometry; import graph; defaultpen(linewidth(0.8)); draw(origin--(9,0)--(7,2*sqrt(3))--(2,2*sqrt(3))--cycle); draw(Label("232\sqrt{3}",align=E),(2,2*sqrt(3))--(2,0),dashed); label("5",(7,2*sqrt(3))--(2,2*sqrt(3)),N); markangle(Label("60∘60^{\circ}"),(9,0),origin,(2,2*sqrt(3)),radius=10); [/asy]
Plain-text mathematical notation (without MathML)
The measure of one of the smaller base angles of an isosceles trapezoid is 60^(∘). The shorter base is 5 inches long and the altitude is 2√(3) inches long. What is the number of inches in the perimeter of the trapezoid? [asy]
import markers;
import olympiad; size(150); import geometry; import graph; defaultpen(linewidth(0.8));
draw(origin--(9,0)--(7,2*sqrt(3))--(2,2*sqrt(3))--cycle);
draw(Label("2√(3)",align=E),(2,2*sqrt(3))--(2,0),dashed);
label("5",(7,2*sqrt(3))--(2,2*sqrt(3)),N);
markangle(Label("60^(∘)"),(9,0),origin,(2,2*sqrt(3)),radius=10);
[/asy]
Original LaTeX notation
The measure of one of the smaller base angles of an isosceles trapezoid is $60^\circ$. The shorter base is 5 inches long and the altitude is $2 \sqrt{3}$ inches long. What is the number of inches in the perimeter of the trapezoid? [asy]
import markers;
import olympiad; size(150); import geometry; import graph; defaultpen(linewidth(0.8));
draw(origin--(9,0)--(7,2*sqrt(3))--(2,2*sqrt(3))--cycle);
draw(Label("$2\sqrt{3}$",align=E),(2,2*sqrt(3))--(2,0),dashed);
label("5",(7,2*sqrt(3))--(2,2*sqrt(3)),N);
markangle(Label("$60^{\circ}$"),(9,0),origin,(2,2*sqrt(3)),radius=10);
[/asy]
