The perimeter of a triangle is 12 cm.
To find the perimeter of the triangle.
What is triangle?
A triangle has three sides, three vertices, and three angles. The sum of the three interior angles of a triangle is always 180°.
Use the distance formula to find the length between point A and B, B and C, C and A. Then add all three lengths together to get the perimeter.
Distance = √ ( (x2 - x1)2 + (y2 - y1)2 )
Points A and B:
d = √(-3 +3)2 + (2 - 5)2
d = √ 0 + 9
d = √9
d = 3
Points B and C:
d = √ (1+ 3)2 + (2 -2)2
d = √ 16 + 0
d = √ 16
d = 4
Points C and A:
d = √ (-3 - 1)2 + (2 -5)2
d = √ 16 + 9
d = √ 25
d = 5
Perimeter= 3 + 5 + 4 = 12
So, the perimeter of a triangle is 12 cm.
