Answer:
28 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
P = 2 (a + b) = 2 · (6 + 8) = 28
The distance would be 17.
all you need to do is plug the points into the distance formula.
This line is in the format 
, where 
is the slope.
A horizontal line has a slope of 
.
A vertical line has an undefined slope.
A positive slope makes the line go upwards and to the right.
<em>A negative slope makes the line go downwards and to the right.</em>
In a quadratic equation with the general formula of:
ax^2 + bx + c = 0
The discriminant is equal to b^2 - 4(a)(c). If the answer is a perfect square, then there are two real numbers. If not, then there are no real number root.
The discriminant for this equation is
(-6)^2 - 4(3)(1) = 24
Since 24 is not a perfect square, there are no real number roots.
