Answer:
12.4 units
Step-by-step explanation:
We have to find the length of the sides of the parallelogram which is calculated using the formula for Distance
= √(x2 - x1)² + (y2 - y1)² where we are given the vertices (x1, y1) and (x2, y2)
For side A
(-5 , -1) (-2, -1)
= √(-2 -(-5))² + (-1 - (-1))²
= √(-2 + 5)² + (-1 + 1)²
= √3² + 0
= √9
= 3 units
For side B
(-2, -1), (-3,-4)
= √(-3 -(-2))² + (-4 -(-1))²
= √(-3 + 2)²+ (-4 + 1)²
= √-1² + -3²
= √1 + 9
= √10 units
= 3.1622776602 units
Approximately = 3.2 units
For side C
(-3,-4), (-6,-4).
= √(-6 -(-3))² + (-4 - (-4))²
= √(-6 + 3)² + (-4 + 4)²
= √-3² + 0²
= √9
= 3 units
For side D
(-5 , -1), (-6,-4)
= √(-6 - (-5))² + (-4 - (-1))²
= √(-6 + 5)² + (-4 + 1)²
= √-1² + -3²
= √1 + 9
= √10 units
= 3.1622776602 units
Approximately = 3.2 units
From the above calculation , we can see that,
side A = side C
side B = side D
The formula for the Perimeter of a Parallelogram is = 2(Side a + Side b)
= 2(3 + 3.2) units
= 2(6.2) units
= 12.4 units
