Find the perimeter of the triangle whose vertices are the following, specified points in the plane. (-10,-3), (1,4) and (-1,7)

Given:

The vertices of the triangle are (-10,-3), (1,4) and (-1,7).

To find:

The perimeter of the triangle.

Solution:

Distance formula:

Let the vertices of the triangle are A(-10,-3), B(1,4) and C(-1,7).

Using distance formula, we get

Similarly,

Now, the perimeter of the triangle is

Therefore, the perimeter of the triangle is 30.098 units.

dalila is incorrect. the whisker on the left is very long, going all the way out to 5. the whisker goes from 5 to 30, so it has a spread of 25. the rest of the box plot values are closer together, so 5 is an outlier
