Determine the perimeter of ABCD. 5 28 18 10

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hartnn (hartnn):

find the lengths of any 2 adjacent sides

hartnn (hartnn):

say AB and BC then perimeter = 2 (AB+BC)

hartnn (hartnn):

so u know how will u get AB ?

hartnn (hartnn):

start by finding co-ordinates of A and B :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A = (-5,3) B = (-4,3) C = (4,2) D = (-5,2)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sorry B = (4,3)

hartnn (hartnn):

yes, good! so AB would just be |4-(-5)| right ?

hartnn (hartnn):

did u get how i got |4-(-5)| ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes then it would be 9

hartnn (hartnn):

if not, use standard distance formula :) and yes, 9 is correct :)

hartnn (hartnn):

and BC? you can find that ?

hartnn (hartnn):

actually C is 4,-2

hartnn (hartnn):

B = (4,3) C = (4,-2) BC = |...| = .. ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yea i know i forgot the negative

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\left| 4-4 \right|\]

hartnn (hartnn):

BC is vertical so it'll be difference in "y co-ordinates" |3- (-2)|

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh ok so it would be 5

hartnn (hartnn):

correct! and perimieter ? \(2(9+5)= \)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

28

hartnn (hartnn):

\(\huge \checkmark \)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks so much :)

hartnn (hartnn):

welcome ^_^
