For the answer to the question above,
A - C = ( -2, 9) - (- 2 -3)

= ( 0, 12)

AC = 12

B - C = (7 - 3) - ( - 2 -3)

= (9, 0)

BC = 9

ABC is a right -angled triangle with AC as the hypotenuse

AC = sqrt( 9^2 + 12^2)

= sqrt(81 + 144)

= srqt(225)

= 15

Perimeter = 12 + 9 + 15

= 36 units

So the answer is 36 units
I hope my answer helped you.
