The perimeter of the given triangle is the sum of the following segments:

Perimeter = PD + DO + OP

based on the given graph, you have that the coordinates of the points PDO are:

P: (1,-6)

D: (4,3)

O: (7,-6)

use the following formula for the distance in between two points:

d = √((x2 - x1)²+(y2 -y1)²)

where (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) are two points on the cordinate system.

For segement PD you have:

PD = √((1-4)²+(-6-3)²) = √(100) = 10

For segemtn DO:

DO = √((4-7)²+(-6-3)²) = √(100) = 10

For segment OP:

OP = √((1-7)²+(-6+6)²) = √36 = 6

then, the perimeter of the triangle is:

perimeter = 10 + 10 + 6 = 26
