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 :)

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

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