You're going to need to use Pythagoras' theorem to work this one out!
As you know, the perimeter of a triangle is just all the lengths of the sides added up.
We'll start with side AC first. We can see that A is (-8, -4) and C is (-6, -2). That means to get from A to C, we need to go 2 units to the right, and 2 units up. Which means we have our two sides to work out the length from Pythagoras' theorem. 2² + 2² = c², c = √8.
Now we'll move onto side AB. We already know A is (-8, -4) from above, and B is (-7, -8). That means to get from A to B, we have to go 4 units down, and 1 unit to the right. So once again: 4² + 1² = c², c = √17.
Lastly, we'll work out side BC. We know that B is (-7, -8) and C is (-6, -2). That means to get to C from B, we have to go 1 unit to the right and 6 units up. So, again: 1² + 6² = c², c = √37.
Now that we have all of our lengths, we simply just add them up!
√8 + √17 + √37 ≈ 13.03 units.
(I've also attached something to help you visualise how I worked it out.)
Answer:
1. wire is approx. 143.96 ft
2. pole is approx. 106.55 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
Mapping the information on the SOHCAHTOA picture below:
Φ = 46
wire = hypotenuse
adjacent side = 100
CAH is most suitable:
cos 46° = 100/wire => wire = 100/cos 46 ≈ 143.96
pole = opposite side + 3
TOA is most suitable:
tan 46° = (pole-3)/100 => pole = 3 + 100 * tan 46 ≈ 106.55
