Answer:
11.1 units
Explanation:
We solve for this using the formula when using coordinates (x1 , y1) and (x2, y2)
= √(x2 - x1)² + (y2 - y1)²
A(5,2), B(5,4), and C(1,1).
For AB = √(x2 - x1)² + (y2 - y1)²
= A(5,2), B(5,4)
= √(5 - 5)² +(4 - 2)²
= √ 0² + 2²
= √4
= 2 units
For BC = √(x2 - x1)² + (y2 - y1)²
= B(5,4), C(1,1)
= √(1 - 5)² +(1 - 4)²
= √ -4² + -3²
= √16 + 9
= √25
= 5 units
For AC = √(x2 - x1)² + (y2 - y1)²
A(5,2), C(1,1)
= √(1 - 5)² + (1 - 2)²
= √-4² + -1²
= √16 + 1
= √17
= 4.1231056256 units
The Formula for the Perimeter of Triangle = Side AB + Side BC + Side AC
= 2 units + 5 units + 4.1231056256 units
= 11.1231056256 units.
Approximately the Perimeter of a Triangle to the nearest tenth = 11.1units
