Answer 2

@Directrix

Answer 3

My dear friend perimeter is nothing but the sum of all sides.....
first find the sides and add them to get the perimeter....

Answer 4

What do you mean "find the sides".

Answer 5

He means find the length of the sides

Answer 6

how do I do that

Answer 7

Using the distance formula

Answer 8

\[\Large l=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}\]

Answer 9

let the point A=(7,5) B=(6,3)C=(3,2)D=(4,4) this is the points
by using this this points find the distance i.e., nothing but the length of the sides....

Answer 10

then add all the distance then you will get perimeter...

Answer 11

The perimeter of a shape is nothing but the sum of the LENGTHS of the sides.

@prowrestler don't forget to give @chetan552 a medal by clicking on the "best response" button :)

Answer 13

wait that makes no sense

Answer 14

What doesn't? @prowrestler

Answer 15

1. Identifies all the vertices
2. Find all the lengths of the sides
3. Add them all together
4. Submit that as the answer

Answer 16

the distance formula only has 4 things I can plug in and I have to plug in way more than that

Answer 17

now you use that formula 4 times, each time calculating the length of one side

Answer 18

ohhhhh gotcha

Answer 19

ya @kc_kennylau is correct...

Answer 20
