No direct answers please. @scoobydo
\[\text{given two points}(x_{1},y_{1}),(x_{2},y_{2})\]\[d=\sqrt{(x_{2}-x_{1})^{2}+(y_{2}-y_{1})^{2}}\]

Oops I made a typo. :(
OpenStudy (kittiwitti1):
No, you got it right, but we want to see your work to make sure you did it the right way (:
OpenStudy (shaleiah):
\[(-4--4)^2+(-1--4)\]
OpenStudy (kittiwitti1):
This is for segment AB, did you get the distance equations for the other two segments?
OpenStudy (shaleiah):
(-4--1)^2+(0--4)=13

wait... you didn't square root
OpenStudy (kittiwitti1):
Sorry, I missed that. Did you square root each equation before solving?
& both parentheses are squared
OpenStudy (kittiwitti1):
|dw:1458071272352:dw|Did you do this?
OpenStudy (kittiwitti1):
Sorry, those are supposed to be exponents of 2. My mouse drawing sucks lol
OpenStudy (shaleiah):
It gives me -9

I don't think that is the result after square root... did you use the square root?
OpenStudy (shaleiah):
\[\sqrt{(-4--4)^2+(-1--4)^2}=3\]
OpenStudy (kittiwitti1):
Yes! ☺
OpenStudy (kittiwitti1):
Now if you do that for the other two segments/sides, you should get 4 and 5 (leg and hypotenuse, respectively), which adds up to 3+4+5 = 12.
(Did you get that?)
OpenStudy (shaleiah):
Yes

Okay, then you're all set ☺
Just remember, when doing the Distance Formula, to square the parentheses and square root everything! ^-^
Good luck on your studies then ♣
