Find the perimeter of the triangle whose vetices A(2,3) B(-1, 4) and C (-4,-6)

Given the triangle ABC such
that:


 A(2,3) B(-1,4) c(-4,-6) are the
vertices's.


To find the perimeter, we need to calculate the length
of all 3 sides:


We will use the following distance
formula:


D = sqrt[( xA-xB)^2 + (
yA-yB)^2]


==> AB = sqrt( -1-2)^2+ (
4-3)^2


               = sqrt(9+1) =
sqrt10


==> AB=
sqrt10


AC = sqrt[(-4-2)^2 +
(-6-3)^2


      = sqrt(36+ 81)


       =
sqrt(117)


AC =
sqrt117)


BC= sqrt[(-4+1)^2+ (
-6-4)^2


     = sqrt( 9 + 100)


      =
sqrt(109)


BC =
sqrt(109)


==> The perimeter
is:


 P = AB + AC +
BC


     = sqrt10 + sqrt117 +
sqrt(109)


       = 24. 42 (
approx.)


Then the perimeter is 24.42
