i assume you can count the legs?
OpenStudy (amistre64):
if anything we can move it to a better position
subtract 2 from all ys, and add 3 to all xs

I don't know how to do this at all.. i missed a week of school...

you count how long the legs of the triangle are. and then use the pythag thrm for the slanted part.

whats the thrm
OpenStudy (amistre64):
the sum of the square of the legs is equal to the square of the hypotenuse

Count the units to find the length of each leg.
Leg AB is 4 units.
Leg BC is 6 units.
Now you can use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the length of the hypotenuse.
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
4^2 + 6^2 = c^2
16 + 36 = c^2
52 = c^2
c = sq.rt. 52
c = approx. 7.21
Now to find the perimeter, add all the sides together! :)
7.21 + 4 +6 = ?
