The perimeter of parallelogram WXYZ is 2 \(\sqrt{26}\) + 8 units
Given that,
The perimeter of parallelogram WXYZ is 2√ 26 + ______,units.
Co-ordinate are = w(-2,4), x(2,4), z(-3,-2),x(2,4),
To find; The perimeter of the parallelogram, we use the formula of distance between points:
\(d = \sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^{2} + (y_2-y_1)^{2}\)
Then:
For WX The co-ordinate are w(-2,4), x(2,4),
\(d = \sqrt{(x_2-x_1) ^{2} + (y_2-y_1)^{2} }\\d = \sqrt{(2-(-2))^{2} + (4-4)}^{2} \\d = \sqrt{16-0} \\d = \sqrt{16} \\d = 4\)
And for XY: the co-ordinate are; x(2,4),x(2,4),
\(d = \sqrt{(x_2-x_1) ^{2} + (y_2-y_1)^{2} }\\ d = \sqrt{(1-(2){ ^{2} + (-1-(4))^{2} } \\\\\)
\(d = \sqrt{1^{2} + 5^{2} } \\d = \sqrt{1+25} \\d = \sqrt{26}\)
Then, since the other two sides are parallel and have the same length, the perimeter of the parallelogram is given by:
Perimeter = 2Wx + 2xY
Substituting values we have:
Perimeter = 2(4) + 2\(\sqrt{26}\)
The perimeter of parallelogram WXYZ is 2 \(\sqrt{26}\) + 8 units.
