Question

What is the perimeter of parallelogram WXYZ? StartRoot 5 EndRoot + StartRoot 17 EndRoot units 2 StartRoot 5 EndRoot + 2 StartRoot 17 EndRoot units 16 units 22 units

Answer 1

Answer:

2 StartRoot 5 EndRoot + 2 StartRoot 17 EndRoot units

Step-by-step explanation:

The perimeter of the parallelogram is expressed as

Perimeter = WX + XY + YZ + WZ

Using the distance formula;

WX = √(0-(-1))²+(4-0)²

WX = √1²+4²

WX = √17

For XY:

XY = √(-2-(0))²+(3-4)²

XY = √(-2)²+(-1)²

XY = √4+1

XY = √5

For YZ:

YZ = √(-2+3))²+(3+1)²

YZ = √(1)²+(4)²

YZ = √1+16

YZ = √17

For WZ;

WZ = √(-3+1)²+(-1-0)²

WZ = √(-2)²+(-1)²

WZ = √4+1

WZ = √5

Perimeter = √17+√5+√17+√5

Perimeter = 2√17 + 2√5 units
