Answer:
P ≈ 25 units
Explanation:
LM = 12 units ( horizontal line )
use the distance formula to find length of other 2 sides.
d =
with (x₁, y₁ ) = L (- 3, 2) and (x₂, y₂ ) = M (3, 5 )
LM =
=
=
=
=
Repeat with (x₁, y₁ ) = M (3, 5) and (x₂, y₂ ) = N (9, 2)
MN =
=
=
=
Then perimeter P is the sum of the 3 sides
P = 12 +
+
= 12 + 2
≈ 25 units ( to the nearest unit )
