Question

Find the perimeter of the shape below:

Answer 1

The perimeter is calculated by adding up all of the sides. Let's see what shape you have.

Answer 2

Ah so in order to answer this question, you have to use the distance formula between two points.

d = sqrt((x2 - x1)^2 + (y2-y1)^2)

Answer 3

Looks like you'll need to apply the distance formula (Pythagorean Theorem) four times to find the lengths of all four sides. Then you add up the results.

Answer 4

Point A is at -4,3
Point B is at 0,2
Point C is at 2,5
Point D is at 0, -3

We can solve from here

Answer 5

Hey, Wrestler, ready to wrestle with this problem?
The length of BC is
\[length(BC)=\sqrt{2^{2}+3^{2}}.\]
You OK with that? If so, find the lengths of the other 3 sides.
