find the perimeter of quadrilateral STUV S(-5,3) T(7,-2) U(7,-6) V(-5,-6
---------
Find the length of each side, then add them.
---
Length = sqrt(diffy^2 + diffx^2)
ST = sqrt(12^2 + 5^2) = 13
---
Find the other side lengths the same way.
It's just arithmetic.

find the perimeter of quadrilateral STUV S(-5,3) T(7,-2) U(7,-6) V(-5,-6
Length of SV: 9
Length of TU: 4
Length of UV: 12
Calculate the length (distance, or d) of ST using the distance formula: d+=+sqrt%28%28x%5B1%5D+-+x%5B2%5D%29%5E2+%2B+%28y%5B1%5D+-+y%5B2%5D%29%5E2%29%29
Add all 4 lengths to get the perimeter of the quad.
