By definition, the perimeter of the triangle is the sum of its sides.
We must then use the formula of distance between points:

d = √((x2-x1) ^ 2 + (y2-y1) ^ 2)
We now look for the longitus for each of the sides:

For L1:

L1 = √((6-2)^2 + (6-2)^2)

L1 = √(32)

L1 = 4√(2)

For L2:

L2 = √((7-2)^2 + (-3-2)^2)

L2 = √(50)

L2 = 5√(2)

For L3:

L3 = √((7-6)^2 + (-3-6)^2)

L3 = √(82)

Then, the perimeter is given by:
P = L1 + L2 + L3
Substituting values we have:

P = 4√(2) + 5√(2) + √(82) P = 9√(2) + √(82)

Answer:
the perimeter of triangle ABC is:
none of the above.
