OpenStudy (sonyalee77):

here the graph

@nubeer

OpenStudy (nubeer):

\[distance = \sqrt{(x _{2}-x _{1})^{2}+(y _{2}-y _{1})^{2}}\]

OpenStudy (nubeer):

find the distance between every 2 consecutive corners of the diagram.

OpenStudy (sonyalee77):

have no clue how to do that

OpenStudy (nubeer):

u have the coordinates right? u can see if from the diagram the coordinate of every corner

OpenStudy (sonyalee77):

So W is -2,5 , X is 2,1, Y is 3, -3, Z is -4, 1 ...... right?

OpenStudy (nubeer):

yes.. so now find wx, xy,yz,zw with the formula i wrote above.

OpenStudy (sonyalee77):

how to set it up like that ?

OpenStudy (nubeer):

first find WX x2 and y2 are the x , y coordinates of X and x1 and y1 will be of W plug them in formula u wil get the distance for WX

OpenStudy (sonyalee77):

is it 1

OpenStudy (nubeer):

i dont know i havent calculated it..

OpenStudy (nubeer):

and no i dont think its 1

OpenStudy (sonyalee77):

Im so confused

OpenStudy (anonymous):

usually how do you get the perimeter of an object

OpenStudy (sonyalee77):

you add all of the sides together

OpenStudy (anonymous):

try now

OpenStudy (sonyalee77):

so is it 20.3
