Answer:
The perimeter of the polygon are
PQ = 5
RS = 5
PR = √74 = 8.60
QS = √74 = 8.60
QR = 7
Step-by-step explanation:
To calculate the perimeter of a polygon, polygon is like a coordinate with points, to find the length, we use this formula
d = √(x _2 - x_1)^2 + (y_2 - y_1)^2
Let's start from the first two vertices P ( 0 , 4) and Q(5 , 4)
x_1 = 0
y_1 = 4
x_2 = 5
y_2 = 4
PQ = √ ( 5 - 0)^2 + ( 4 - 4)^2
= √ 5^2 + 0^2
= √ 25
= 5
Between R( 5 , -3) and S ( 0 , -3)
x_1 = 5
y_1 = -3
x_2 = 0
y_2 = -3
RS = √ ( 0 - 5)^2 + ( -3 - (-3))^2
= √( -5)^2 + ( -3 + 3)^2
= √ 25 + 0
= √ 25
= 5
Between P( 0 , 4) and R (5 , -3)
x_1 = 0
y_1 = 4
x_2 = 5
y_2 = -3
PR = √( 5 - 0)^2 + ( -3 - 4)^2
= √ 5^2 + (-7)^2
= √ 25 + 49
= √ 74
= 8.60
Between Q ( 5 , 4) and S(0 ,-3)
x_1 = 5
y_1 = 4
x_2 = 0
y_2 = -3
QS = √ ( 0 - 5)^2 + ( -3 - 4)^2
= √ -5^2 + -7^2
= √ 25 + 49
= √ 74
= 8.60
Between Q( 5,4) and R(5 , -3)
x_1 = 5
y_1 = 4
x_2 = 5
y_2 = -3
QR = √ (5 - 5)^2 + ( -3 - 4)^2
= √ 0^2 + (-7)^2
= √ 0 + 49
= √ 49
= 7
