Answer:
Perimeter of PQR = 37 units (Approx.)
Explanation:
Using graph;
Coordinate of P = (-2 , -4)
Coordinate of Q = (16 , -4)
Coordinate of R = (7 , -7)
Find:
Perimeter of PQR
Computation:
Distance between two point = √(x1 - x2)² + (y1 - y2)²
Distance between PQ = √(-2 - 16)² + (-4 - 4)²
Distance between PQ = 18 unit
Distance between QR = √(16 - 7)² + (-4 + 7)²
Distance between QR = √81 + 9
Distance between QR = 9.48 unit (Approx.)
Distance between RP = √(7 + 2)² + (-7 + 4)²
Distance between RP = √81 + 9
Distance between RP = 9.48 unit (Approx.)
Perimeter of PQR = PQ + QR + RP
Perimeter of PQR = 18 + 9.48 + 9.48
Perimeter of PQR = 36.96
Perimeter of PQR = 37 units (Approx.)
