Let T1T_1 be a triangle with sides 2011,2012,2011, 2012, and 20132013 . For n1n \ge 1 , if Tn=ABCT_n = \triangle ABC and D,E,D, E, and FF are the points of tangency of the incircle of ABC\triangle ABC to the sides AB,BCAB, BC and AC,AC, respectively, then Tn+1T_{n+1} is a triangle with side lengths AD,BE,AD, BE, and CF,CF, if it exists. What is the perimeter of the last triangle in the sequence (Tn)( T_n ) ?
