Question

The coordinates of the vertices of a polygon are (−2,−2), (3,−3), (4,−6), (1,−6), and (−2,−4).
What is the perimeter of the polygon to the nearest tenth of a unit?

Answer 2

Have you considered plotting the points, determining which pairs represent the perimeter, and calculating the length of each?

Answer 3

i have plotted them yes

Answer 4

17.9?

Answer 5

That's good. Now, connect the dots in a way that creates a convex polygon.

Answer 6

i cant find anything that will let me draw a line

Answer 7

You can just imagine the line.

From (-2,-2) to (-2,-4) is a distance of 2. Keep track of that.
From (-2,-4) to (1,-6) is a distance of \(\sqrt{13}\). Keep track of that.
and so forth around the perimeter.

Answer 8

is it 16.9?
