I don’t have the coordinates of A, B, and C or Jose’s intermediate work — could you paste them or upload the picture of the problem?
If you want to finish it yourself, here’s what to do:
1. Use the distance formula to find each side:
- AB = sqrt[(xB − xA)^2 + (yB − yA)^2]
- BC = sqrt[(xC − xB)^2 + (yC − yB)^2]
- AC = sqrt[(xC − xA)^2 + (yC − yA)^2]
2. Add the three side lengths to get the perimeter and round to the nearest tenth.
If you post the coordinates (or Jose’s calculation for AC), I’ll finish the arithmetic and pick the correct choice.
