Answer:

  • 30.01 units

Explanation:

Given vertices WXYZ:

  • W(-4,5), X(2,4), Y(3, -4), Z(-1, -6)

Perimeter is the sum of the side length.

Use distance formula to find each side:

  • WX =
    √((2+4)^2+(4-5)^2) =√(37) ≈ 6.08
  • XY =
    √((3-2)^2+(-4-4)^2) =√(65) ≈ 8.06
  • YZ =
    √((-1-3)^2+(-6+4)^2) =√(20) ≈ 4.47
  • WZ =
    √((-1+4)^2+(-6-5)^2) =√(130)
    √((-1+4)^2+(-6-5)^2)=√(130) ≈ 11.40

Find perimeter:

  • P = 6.08 + 8.06 + 4.47 + 11.40 = 30.01 units
