The measure of QR is 6 units, which is 6 meters, since every unit on the coordinate grid is 1 meter.
The measure of UT is also 6 meters.
The measure of QU is 8 meters.
To find the measure of RS, we use the distance formula:
We substitute the coordinates of R and S into the formula and have:
To find the measure of ST we use the distance formula again, substituting the coordinates for S and T into the formula:
Now we find our perimeter by adding the sides together: 5.39 + 3.61 + 6 + 6 + 8 = 29 meters
Since fencing costs $24.75 per meter, we multiply this by our perimeter:
29(24.75) = $717.75
