Select the correct answer. A triangle has vertices (-1, 2), (3, 1), and (7, 2). What is the approximate perimeter of th...

16.24 Units

Step-by-step explanation:

The perimeter of the triangle is the sum of the length of the sides of the triangle. Given the points on the vertices, the length of each side may be found using the formula

Length = √(x2 - x1)^2 + (y2 - y1)^2

Considering the pair (-1, 2), (3, 1), the length of that side

= √(3 -- 1)^2 + (1-2)^2)

= √(16 + 1)

= √17 units

Considering the pair (-1, 2), (7, 2), the length of that side

= √(7 -- 1)^2 + (2-2)^2)

= √(64)

= 8

Considering the pair  (3, 1),  and (7, 2), the length of that side

= √(7 - 3)^2 + (2  - 1)^2

= √(16 + 1)

= √17

Hence the perimeter of the triangle

= √17 + 8 + √17

= 4.12 + 8 + 4.12

= 16.24 Units

step-by-step explanation:

it would be see because your formula is f(x)=6x, so 6 times 1 is 6 and you go on and the best answer is c.
