i have these 3 points: (-2,3), (0,-5) and (3,-2) what do i do with them?????????

OpenStudy (anonymous):

did u graph them?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

connect them and make a triangle :-)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its already in a triangle, i just have to figure out what the perimeter is (:

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The easiest if you remember the distance formula :

OpenStudy (anonymous):

duh, I cannot make equations somehow...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yea but she said perimeter.....man im just not working right today

OpenStudy (anonymous):

if you calculate all 3 distances than you will get the perimeter

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how would i calculate them?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

take the square root of (x2-x1)^2+(y2-y1)^2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

if I click on equation nothing comes up ....

OpenStudy (anonymous):

LOL im confused :(

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so for example for (-2,3) (0,-5) sqrt of (0--2)^2+(-5-3)^2 that is sqrt(4+64)=sqrt68
