Question

What is the perimeter of a right trianglr whose hypotenuse is the line segment A(-6,4) B(2,-1)

Answer 1

Given hypotenuse is the line segment A(-6,4) B(2,-1)


`\text { Length of hypotenuse = } √((-6-2)^2 + (4-(-1))^2)`


`\text { Length of hypotenuse = } √(64 + 25)`


`\text { Length of hypotenuse = } \ 9.43 \text { units}`

height = | 4 - (-1)|= 5 units

Base = |-6 -2| = 8 units

Perimeter = 9.43 + 5 + 8 = 22.43 units

---------------------------------------------
Answer: Perimeter = 22.43 units
