How do I solve this?

OpenStudy (3mar):

This is the general case where we need to use the general formula for the distance between points. Apply this to two consecutive points twice. and tell me the steps and the naswer as you did before! Thanks in advance.

OpenStudy (narissa):

Oh okay! One second

OpenStudy (3mar):

OOKK

OpenStudy (3mar):

Thank you for the medal!

OpenStudy (narissa):

Do I use these points?

OpenStudy (3mar):

Yes. and your answer is ??

OpenStudy (narissa):

I got 10.1

OpenStudy (narissa):

@3mar

OpenStudy (3mar):

For that length or perimeter?

OpenStudy (narissa):

Im not sure.. this is how I solved it though. √(-7-3)^2+(4-2)^2 √(-10)^2+(2)^2 √100+4 √104 √10.1

OpenStudy (3mar):

Ok that is one side. for the adjacent side, what you got?

OpenStudy (narissa):

11.1

OpenStudy (3mar):

√104 =√10.1???

OpenStudy (3mar):

I think √104=10.198

OpenStudy (narissa):

oh I thought you meant do the bottom points of the rectangle.

OpenStudy (3mar):

These are your steps: "Im not sure.. this is how I solved it though. √(-7-3)^2+(4-2)^2 √(-10)^2+(2)^2 √100+4 √104 √10.1"

OpenStudy (narissa):

yes

OpenStudy (3mar):

ok what is the perimeter therefore?

OpenStudy (narissa):

10.1?

OpenStudy (3mar):

no, I think the perimeter would be \[6\sqrt26=30.59\]

OpenStudy (3mar):

10.1? is not in the choices!

OpenStudy (narissa):

20.4?

OpenStudy (3mar):

30.59

OpenStudy (narissa):

so 30.6 would be the answer

OpenStudy (3mar):

yes. Satisfied?

OpenStudy (narissa):

Can you write all the steps of how you got 30.59 so I can write them down in my notes? Please

OpenStudy (3mar):

Of course.

OpenStudy (narissa):

Thank you :)

OpenStudy (3mar):

For L (the length): \[L=\sqrt{(4-2)^2+(-6-4)^2}=\sqrt{104}=2\sqrt{26}\] For d (the width): \[d=\sqrt{(-3-2)^2+(3-4)^2}=\sqrt{26}=\sqrt{26}\] The perimeter is twice the sum of the length and width \[The.perimeter=2*[2\sqrt{26}+\sqrt{26}]=6\sqrt{26}=30.59\] I hope that helps!

OpenStudy (3mar):

The mistake you did is the point you chose not correct! It would be (4,2) rather than (3,2)

OpenStudy (narissa):

Oh okay thanks so much

OpenStudy (3mar):

With my pleasure!

OpenStudy (3mar):

I thank you that you gave me that chance to help you!
