Answer:
18.01 units to 2 dec. places.
Step-by-step explanation:
Calculate the length of the 3 lines of the triangle
AB = √ [(5 --1)^2 + ( 0 - -4)^2]
= √(36 + 16)
= √52
= 7.211.
BC = √ [(-1-3)^2 + (-4- -6)^2]
= √(16 + 4)
= √20
= 4.472.
CA = √ [(3-5)^2 + (-6-0)^2]
= √(4 + 36)
= √40
= 6.325.
So the perimeter = 7.211 + 4.472 + 6.325
= 18.008
