\n" ); document.write( "From (1,3) to (7,3) is 6 units.
\n" ); document.write( "From (7,3) to (7,7) is 4 units.
\n" ); document.write( "From (7,7) to (4,7) is 3 units.
\n" ); document.write( "You need to calculate the distance from (4,7) to (1,3).
\n" ); document.write( "Use the distance formula,
\n" ); document.write( "\"D%5E2=%28x%5B1%5D-x%5B2%5D%29%5E2%2B%28y%5B1%5D-y%5B2%5D%29%5E2\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"D%5E2=%284-1%29%5E2%2B%287-3%29%5E2\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"D%5E2=9%2B16\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"D%5E2=25\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"D=5\"
\n" ); document.write( "So then the perimeter is just the sum of all of these lengths,
\n" ); document.write( "\"P=6%2B4%2B3%2B5\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"P=18\"
\n" ); document.write( "
