Question

on square bcde if e is located at (4,-9) and d is located at (10,-5) find the perimeter of the square

Answer 1

Answer:

• 8$\sqrt{13}$ units

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that:

• P = 4a

We can find one side by distance formula:

• a = $\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}$
• a = $\sqrt{(10 - 4)^2+(-5+9)^2} = \sqrt{36+16} = \sqrt{52} = 2\sqrt{13}$

Then the perimeter is:

• P = 4*2$\sqrt{13}$ = 8$\sqrt{13}$ units
