    Study Notes

    Coordinates of the vertices

    • D(-9, 9)
    • E(8, 5)
    • F(-7, -7)

    Calculating the lengths of the sides

    • DE: √[(8 - (-9))² + (5 - 9)²] = √(17² + (-4)²) = √289 + 16 = √305 ≈ 17.46
    • EF: √[(8 - (-7))² + (5 - (-7))²] = √(15² + 12²) = √225 + 144 = √369 ≈ 19.21
    • FD: √[(-7 - (-9))² + (-7 - 9)²] =√(2² + (-16)²) =√4 + 256 =√260 ≈ 16.12

    Perimeter of ΔDEF

    • Perimeter = DE + EF + FD = 17.46 + 19.21 + 16.12 ≈ 52.79

    • Perimeter ≈ 52.8 units
