The answer is D 45. Using the distance formula and the ordered pairs (1,8) & (4,5) for the short side and ((4,5) & (17,18) for the long side. sqrt [(x2-x2)^2 + (y2-y1)^2] sqrt [(4-1)^2 + (5-8)^2] = sqrt [ 9 + 9 ] = sqrt (18) (short side) sqrt [(17-4)^2 + (18-5)^1 = sqrt [169 + 169] = sqrt (338) long side P = 2L + 2W P = 2sqrt18 + 2sqrt 338 = 45.25 = 45
You have to take the sum of the distance between each point. It doesn't matter what order you use just keep it consistent, the shortest distance between any 2 points in the plane is a straight line.
Hmmm well may I ask what your doing with the shapes bc um well if you put them shapes in the circle/oval why is it hard? I don’t do this stuff I’m confused...
