Question

Did I get this correct?

Answer 1

Pappy's Pond is located close to an elementary school. The city plans to fence it in to keep small children from accessing the water. What is the perimeter of a triangular-shaped fence the city can place around the pond, using integer coordinates (no decimals) on the grid? You must show all work to receive credit.

Coordinates around the pond:
Point A,(0,5), Point B(8,9), Point C(4,-3)

AB = sqrt((8-0)^2+(9-5)^2) = 8.9
AC = sqrt((4-0)^2+(-3-5)^2) = 8.9
BC = sqrt((4-8)^2+(-3-9)^2) = 12.6

Perimeter 8.9 + 8.9 + 12.6 = 30.4 units

Answer 2

That's correct

Answer 3

Is your point B correct?

Answer 4

Given your coordinates, also make sure not to include the decimal in there so it would just be 30 units

Answer 5

Thank both of you!
