Question

Find the perimeter of a quadrilateral with vertices at L (-4, 0), M (4, 6), N (7, 2), O (-1, -4). Round your answer to the nearest hundredth when necessary. (5 points)


Select one:


a. 30 units

b. 42 units

c. 48 units

d. 50 units

Answer 1

@Hero do I find the distance between the points the points and then add them ?

Answer 2

The perimeter of an object means the distance around it.

Answer 3

I think its A

Answer 4

Please show your work so I can check it.

Answer 5

well I did the distant formula for each point, and when I added it together to get the perimeter it equaled 30 first I started with point L and M , and then M and N, and then N and O and then O and L . The distance between L and M was 10 and the distance between M and N was 5, and then the distance between N and O was 10 and then the distance between O and L and that was 5.

Answer 6

I see. If you applied the distance formula properly and then added the distances of
LM + MN + NO + OL correctly, then your result should be correct.
