To find the perimeter of a rectangle, we first need to determine its length and width. In a rectangle, opposite sides are equal in length.
Given the points \( A(7,6) \), \( B(13,12) \), and \( C(8,17) \), we need to verify if these points correspond to the rectangle's vertices. However, we don't have the coordinates for all four vertices.
Assuming the fourth vertex is needed to create the rectangle, we can infer its coordinates. For a rectangle:
1. The length can be calculated by finding the distance between points \( A \) and \( B \) or points \( A \) and \( C \), and the width accordingly for the pairs of points.
2. The distance between any two points \( (x_1, y_1) \) and \( (x_2, y_2) \) is given by the formula:
\[
d = \sqrt{(x_2 - x_1)^2 + (y_2 - y_1)^2}
\]
Calculating the distances between the known points:
1. Distance \( AB \):
\[
d_{AB} = \sqrt{(13 - 7)^2 + (12 - 6)^2} = \sqrt{6^2 + 6^2} = \sqrt{36 + 36} = \sqrt{72} = 6\sqrt{2}
\]
2. Distance \( AC \):
\[
d_{AC} = \sqrt{(8 - 7)^2 + (17 - 6)^2} = \sqrt{1^2 + 11^2} = \sqrt{1 + 121} = \sqrt{122} \approx 11.05
\]
3. Distance \( BC \):
\[
d_{BC} = \sqrt{(8 - 13)^2 + (17 - 12)^2} = \sqrt{(-5)^2 + (5)^2} = \sqrt{25 + 25} = \sqrt{50} = 5\sqrt{2}
\]
Next, we can determine which distances represent the length and width of the rectangle. Based on conventional rectangle properties, we determine:
- The longer segment \( 6\sqrt{2} \) and \( 5\sqrt{2} \) are most likely representing length and width.
Finally, we calculate the perimeter \( P \) of the rectangle:
\[
P = 2(\text{length} + \text{width}) = 2(6\sqrt{2} + 5\sqrt{2}) = 2(11\sqrt{2}) = 22\sqrt{2}
\]
Thus, the final perimeter of the rectangle in inches is:
\[
P \approx 22 \times 1.414 \approx 31.09 \text{ inches}
\]
**If the fourth vertex is not known, check for coordinates. Otherwise, use assessed max/min points while considering right angles.**
