Question 95687: OK. I am given a parallelogram on a graph with no points and I am asked to find the perimeter of this parallelogram. How do I find the perimeter of this graphed parallelogram? Answer by checkley71(8403) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! FIRST YOU NEED TO IDENTIFY ALL THE CORNER POINTS.
THEN FIND THE DISTANCE BETWEEN THEM USING THE PYTHAGOREON THEORUM (A^2+B^2=C^2) AS EACH SET OF POINTS FORM A RIGHT TRIANGLE. THE DISTANCE IS THE HYPOTENUSE OF THESE TRIANGLES (C).
ONCE YOU'VE FOUND THE LENGTH OF THE TWO PARALLEL SIDES JUST ADD THEM FOR THE PERIMETER.
