Answer 1

Answer:

$P = 4\sqrt{13}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$W = (7, 2)$

$X = (5, -1)$

$Y = (3, 2)$

$Z =(5, 5)$

Required

The perimeter

To do this, we first calculate the side lengths using distance formula

$d = \sqrt{(x_2 - x_1)^2 + (y_2 - y_1)^2$

So, we have:

$WX = \sqrt{(5- 7)^2 + (-1 - 2)^2$

$WX = \sqrt{13}$

$XY = \sqrt{(3-5)^2 + (2--1)^2}$

$XY = \sqrt{13}$

$YZ = \sqrt{(5-3)^2 + (5-2)^2}$

$YZ = \sqrt{13}$

$ZW = \sqrt{(7 - 5)^2 + (2 - 5)^2}$

$ZW = \sqrt{13}$

The perimeter is:

$P = WX + XY + YZ + ZW$

$P = \sqrt{13}+\sqrt{13}+\sqrt{13}+\sqrt{13}$

$P = 4\sqrt{13}$
