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.)
Number of solutions: no roots
Type of solution: Not Real
Step-by-step explanation:
We need to identify the number of solutions and their types using the discriminant.
We are given:
Rearranging:
Discriminant can be found by:
where b=-40, a=10 and c=41
Putting values:
So, Discriminant is -40
If the discriminant is less than zero i.e -40 then there are no real roots.
So, Number of solutions: no roots
Type of solution: Not Real
Keywords: discriminant
