Question

In the coordinate plane, you are given JKL with J(2, 3), K(10,4), and L(6, 10). Using the distance formula, classify JKL

Answer 1

Perimeter of JKL = 22.55 unit (Approx.)

Explanation:

Given:

Coordinate of J = (2,3)

Coordinate of K = (10,4)

Coordinate of L = (6,10)

Find:

Perimeter of JKL

Computation:

Distance = √(x1 - x2)² + (y1 - y2)²

Distance between JK = √(2 - 10)² + (3 - 4)²

Distance between JK = √64 + 1

Distance between JK = √65

Distance between JK = 8.06 unit

Distance between KL = √(10 - 6)² + (4 - 10)²

Distance between KL = √16 + 36

Distance between KL = √52

Distance between KL = 7.21 unit

Distance between LJ = √(6 - 2)² + (10 - 3)²

Distance between LJ = √4 + 49

Distance between LJ = √53

Distance between LJ = 7.28 unit

Perimeter of JKL = Distance between JK + Distance between KL + Distance between LJ

Perimeter of JKL = 8.06 + 7.21 + 7.28

Perimeter of JKL = 22.55 unit (Approx.)
