to get the perimeter add all the lengths going around the shape.
you can use the distance formula (pythagorean theorem) to calculate the lengths not given
OpenStudy (solomonzelman):
Okay....
TU + UR + RS + ST
OpenStudy (solomonzelman):
TU + UR + RS + ST
the TU and UR are obvious.
RS, 1²+5²=(RS)²
ST, 2²+4²=(ST)²
OpenStudy (solomonzelman):
3 + 2 + √26 + √20

Very confused but thanks anyways
OpenStudy (solomonzelman):
how are you confused, what's not clear? Ask please...
OpenStudy (solomonzelman):
My bad actually for Sr, it is 1²+4²=(SR)²
OpenStudy (solomonzelman):
TU + UR + RS + ST
3 + 2 + √17 + √20

Sorry for the mistake
OpenStudy (triciaal):
ut = 4
st = rt of (4^2 + 2^2)
ur = 2
sr = rt of (4^2 + 1^2)
perimeter = st + tu + ur + rs
OpenStudy (anonymous):
ok i got 13.6
OpenStudy (anonymous):
is that right?
OpenStudy (triciaal):
sorry ut should be 3 not 4
