Question 218259: find the perimeter of the triangle whose vertices are the following specified points in the plane: (2,-7), (6,9) and (0,-6)
Answer by solver91311(24713) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Let X be the point (2,-7). Let Y be the point (6,9). Let Z be the point (0,-6).
Use the distance formula to calculate the measure of segment XY:
^2 + (y_1 - y_2)^2})
where )
and )
are the ordered pairs describing X and Y.
^2 + ((-7) - 9)^2})
Do the arithmetic to get the measure of segment XY.
Now repeat the process twice more to get the measure of segments XZ and YZ.
Once you have the measure of all three segments, add them together to get the perimeter.
