Find the perimeter of the triangle with the vertices at
(4, 2), (-5, 6), and (-7, -3).
-------
Label them.
A(4,2), B(-5,6), and C(-7,-3).
Find the 3 side lengths, AB, BC and AC
----
AB+=+sqrt%28diffy%5E2+%2B+diffx%5E2%29+=+sqrt%284%5E2+%2B+9%5E2%29+=+sqrt%2897%29
----
Find the other 2 sides the same way, then add them.
