The point \(B\) has coordinates ( 2,2 ). The perpendicular from \(B\) to \(A C\) meets \(A C\) at the point \(X\).
  1. Find the coordinates of \(X\). The point \(D\) is such that the quadrilateral \(A B C D\) has \(A C\) as a line of symmetry.
  2. Find the coordinates of \(D\).
  3. Find, correct to 1 decimal place, the perimeter of \(A B C D\). \footnotetext{Permission to reproduce items where third-party owned material protected by copyright is included has been sought and cleared where possible.
