You can put this solution on YOUR website! Show what you did. How do you know it's wrong?
 What should the answer be, if you know?
 ========================
 find the perimeter of quadrilateral STUV, where S(-5,3) T(7,-2) U(7,-6) and V(-5,-5) please help me
 ST = sqrt(5^2 + 12^2) = 13
 TU = sqrt(0 + 4^2) = 4
 UV = sqrt(12^2 + 1) = sqrt(145)
 VS = sqrt(0 + 8^2) = 8
 ----------
 Add them
 Perimeter = 25 + sqrt(145)
 =~ 37.04
