What is the perimeter of a triangle with corners at #(1 ,2 )#, #(8 ,3 )#, and #(4 ,4 )#?

Answer 1

Perimeter of triangle # = 14.8# units

Side A = #sqrt((8-1)^2+(3-2)^2) =sqrt 50 = 7.07# Side B = #sqrt((4-8)^2+(4-3)^2) =sqrt 17 = 4.12# Side C = #sqrt((1-4)^2+(2-4)^2) =sqrt 13 = 3.61# Perimeter of triangle# = 7.07+4.12+3.61 = 14.8# units [Ans]

To find the perimeter of the triangle with corners at (1, 2), (8, 3), and (4, 4), we calculate the distances between these points using the distance formula. Then, we sum up these distances to get the perimeter of the triangle.
