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.

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

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
