Question

Find the perimeter of the hexagon with vertices J(0, 5), K(4, 3), L(4, -1), M(0, -4), N(-4, -1), and P(-4, 3) to the nearest tenth of a unit.

Answer 1

draw the points on a graph, join the dots, count the length of the horizontal and vertical sides, then use the Pythagorean theorem to find the length of the diagonal sides...add all the sides up and \(\text{BOOM!}\) there's your perimeter :)
