Question

If (6,8), (-3, 8), and (6,-4) are the coordinates of the vertices of a triangle, what is the

perimeter of the triangle?

Answer 1

Answer: 36

Explanation:

Distamce from (6, 8) to (-3, 8) is 9.

Distance from (-3, 8) to (6, -4) is
`\sqrt{(-3-6)^(2)+(8-(-4))^(2)}=15`

Distance from (6, 8) to (6, -4) is 12.

So P = 9 + 15 + 12 = 36.
