Answer: The slope of two parallel lines are same. Since one pair of opposite sides are equal and parallel, therefore the another set of opposite sides is also parallel and equal. The opposite sides are prallel and equation, so the quadrilateral PQRS is a parallelogram.

To the nearest tenth, find the perimeter of ABC with vertices A (-2,-2) B (0,5) and C (3,1)

Pavlova-9 [17]

the perimeter will then just be the sum of the distances of A, B and C, namely AB + BC + CA.

$\bf ~~~~~~~~~~~~\textit{distance between 2 points}\\\\A(\stackrel{x_1}{-2}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{-2})\qquadB(\stackrel{x_2}{0}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{5})\qquad \qquadd = \sqrt{( x_2- x_1)^2 + ( y_2- y_1)^2}\\\\\\AB=\sqrt{[0-(-2)]^2+[5-(-2)]^2}\implies AB=\sqrt{(0+2)^2+(5+2)^2}\\\\\\AB=\sqrt{4+49}\implies \boxed{AB=\sqrt{53}}\\\\[-0.35em]\rule{34em}{0.25pt}\\\\B(\stackrel{x_2}{0}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{5})\qquad C(\stackrel{x_1}{3}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{1})\\\\\\BC=\sqrt{(3-0)^2+(1-5)^2}\implies BC=\sqrt{3^2+(-4)^2}$

$\bf BC=\sqrt{9+16}\implies \boxed{BC=5}\\\\[-0.35em]\rule{34em}{0.25pt}\\\\C(\stackrel{x_2}{3}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{1})\qquad A(\stackrel{x_1}{-2}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{-2})\\\\\\CA=\sqrt{(-2-3)^2+(-2-1)^2}\implies CA=\sqrt{(-5)^2+(-3)^2}\\\\\\CA=\sqrt{25+9}\implies \boxed{CA=\sqrt{34}}\\\\[-0.35em]\rule{34em}{0.25pt}\\\\~\hfill \stackrel{AB+BC+CA}{\approx 18.11}~\hfill$
