What is tht perimeter for (1,6),(0,4),and (3,2)
==========
3 points do not have a perimeter.
---
There's no reason to assume it's a triangle.
Even if you do, it might be a spherical triangle.
-----
It might be 3 points on a circle, an ellipse, or something else.
=============
--> insufficient info.

Just those points as a triangle? Use the Distance Formula for the three sides. Find the sum.

(1) As one of the tutors who responded to your question pointed out, it would be a good idea, when you are asking for help with a problem, to take the time to present the problem clearly. Getting your message across with as few characters as possible is good on Twitter; it is not appropriate when you are submitting a question to this forum.

(2) If you look closely at the work from the other tutor, you will find there is an arithmetic error somewhere, leading to an incorrect answer.

I'm guessing that tutor will see this response and correct the error....
