What is the perimeter of a triangle with corners at #(6 ,5 )#, #(9 ,2 )#, and #(3 ,8 )#?

Answer 1

I think your triangle is quite.....slim...too slim perhaps...linear!

The corners lie on a line of equation: #y=-x+11#

To find the perimeter of a triangle with corners at (6, 5), (9, 2), and (3, 8), you can calculate the distance between each pair of points using the distance formula, then sum these distances together. The distance formula between two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) is:

Distance = √((x2 - x1)^2 + (y2 - y1)^2)

Calculate the distances between:

(6, 5) and (9, 2)
(6, 5) and (3, 8)
(9, 2) and (3, 8)

Then sum these distances together to find the perimeter of the triangle.

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
