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
