Find the perimeter of a triangle with the vertices (2,4) (-1,3) and (2,-3)

OpenStudy (nottim):

You should really just graph it. Are you allowed to?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yea

OpenStudy (nottim):

Then I guess just do that.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok thanks

OpenStudy (nottim):

If you get any problems with diagonals, remember, slope= y2-y1/x2-x1. Ok?

OpenStudy (nottim):

Or, subtract the "1st point" from the "2nd point".

OpenStudy (amistre64):

(2,4) (-1,3) and (2,-3) -2-4 -2-4 -2-4 ----------------- 0,0 -3,1 0,-7 sqrt(10) 7 (2,4) (-1,3) and (2,-3) 1-3 1-3 1-3 -------------------- 3,1 0,0 3,0 sqrt(10) 3 7+3+sqrt(10) = 10+sqrt(10)

OpenStudy (amistre64):

you dont need slope; you need distance

OpenStudy (nottim):

oops

OpenStudy (amistre64):

its still subtract tho ;)
