What is the perimeter of the triangle shown on the coordinate plane, to the nearest tenth of a unit? 14.6 units 15.5 units 21.0 units 21.6 units

21.6 units

Calculate the length of the 2 inclined sides using the distance formula

d = √(x₂ - x₁ )² + (y₂ - y₁ )²

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 3, 3 ) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (3, 4 )

d = √(3 + 3 )² + (4 - 3)² = √(36 + 1 ) = √37

repeat for (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 3, 3 ) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (3, - 3 )

d = √(3 + 3 )² + (- 3 - 3 )² = √(36 + 36 ) = √72

the vertical side has a length of 7 units

perimeter = √37 + √72 + 7 = 21.6 ( nearest tenth of a unit )

step-by-step explanation:

if x = 2 you have to find x to finish the problem
