Question

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?

Answer 2

chose points: (1, 0) , (1, 8) and (12, 0) the distance formula is sqrt((x1-x2)^2+(y1-y2)^2) find distance bettween those point and then add the side lenghts. then round.

Answer 4

What answer did you get?

Answer 5

Take three points R(1,0) A(1,7) J(0,12)
Take a scale and then see if any of the segments made from these points intersect the pond or not. By using the distance formula for all the points i got a perimeter of 362.

Thats mine!
