What is the perimeter of this triangle? (-4,5)
(8,5)
(8,-4)
A. 36 units
В.
39 units
33 units
D
42 units

Perimeter of triangle = 12 + 9 + 15

                                   = 36 units

Therefore, option A is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given points

From the table, it is clear the side containing the line segment joining the points (-4, 5) and (8, 5) is a straight horizontal line.

Thus, the length of the horizontal distance from the points (-4, 5) and (8, 5) will be:

8-(-4) = 12 units

From the table, it is clear the side containing the line segment joining the points (8, 5) and (8, -4) is a straight vertical line.

Thus, the length of the vertical distance from the points (8, -4) and (8, 5) will be:

5-(-4) = 9

Now, finding the length of the side containing the segment (8, -4) and (-4, 5) using the formula:

We know that the Perimeter of a rectangle is the length of all the sides of the triangle. Therefore, combining all the lengths of the line segments

Thus,

Perimeter of triangle = 12 + 9 + 15

                                   = 36 units

Therefore, option A is correct.
