Question

PLEASEEEEE HELP!

Find the perimeter of this shape. Triangle with the given vertices: C(3, 4), A(5, -4) and T(2, 2).
​

Answer 1

17.19 units.

Explanation:

First calculate the distance between the 3 points to get the lengths of sides of the triangle.

Side AC = sqrt( (3-5)^2 + (4- -4)^2) = sqrt68

Side AT = sqrt((5-2)^2 + (-4-2)^2 = sqrt45

Side CT = sqrt((3-2)^2 + (4-2)^2) = sqrt5

So the perimeter = sqrt68 + sqrt45 + sqrt5

= 17.19 units.
