Question

A(6, , 4) B (-3,-4) C(6,4) find the perimeter of the figure tc the nearest whole number.

Answer 1

The perimeter of the figure is 30 units (rounded to the nearest whole number).

How to find the perimeter

To find the perimeter of the figure formed by the points A(6, -4), B(-3, -4), and C(6, 4), you can use the distance formula to find the lengths of each side and then add them up.

Side AB

`d_(AB) = √((-3 - 6)^2 + (-4 - (-4))^2) = √(81) = 9`

Side BC

`\[d_(BC) = √((6 - (-3))^2 + (4 - (-4))^2) = √(169) = 13\]`

Side CA

`d_(CA) = √((6 - 6)^2 + (4 - (-4))^2) = √(64) = 8`

Adding up the length

Perimeter = AB + BC + CA

Perimeter = 9 + 13 + 8 = 30
