<PRE><B>Question 1037844</B>
 find the perimeter of quadrilateral STUV, S(-5,-3) T(7,-2) U(7,-6) V(-5,-6) 
-----
The quadrilateral has 4 sides:: ST ; TU ; UV ; VS
-------
Find the length of each of the sides::
ST = sqrt[(-2+3)^2 + (7+5)^2] = sqrt[1 + 144] = sqrt(145)=  
----
TU = sqrt[(-6+2)^2+(7-7)^2] sqrt[16+0] = sqrt(16) = 4
-------
UV = sqrt[(-6+6)^2+(-5-7)^2] = sqrt[0+144] = 12
----------
VS = sqrt[(-6+3)^2 + (-5+5)^2] = sqrt[9+0] = 3
-----------
Perimeter = 3 + 12 + 4 + sqrt(145) = 19+sqrt(145)
-------------
