SOLUTION: Find the perimeter of the triangle with vertices at the points (1,1), (5,4) and (-1,2). I used the distance formula to find the distance between connecting points and came up with

Question 364848: Find the perimeter of the triangle with vertices at the points (1,1), (5,4) and (-1,2).
I used the distance formula to find the distance between connecting points and came up with the solutions of: 5, sqrt(5), and sqrt(40) making the perimeter equal approximately 13.56. Is this correct?
