The coordinates of the vertices of a polygon are (-2, 1). (-3, 3), (-1, 5), (2, 4), and (2, 1). what is the perimeter of the polygon to the nearest tenth of a unit.

do not label your answer. answer with a number only.

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1

Plot the vertices of the polygon to better understand the problem

we have

using a graphing tool

The polygon is a pentagon (the number of sides is 5)

see the attached figure

The perimeter is equal to

the formula to calculate the distance between two points is equal to

step 2

Find the distance AB

substitute in the formula

step 3

Find the distance BC

substitute in the formula

step 4

Find the distance CD

substitute in the formula

step 5

Find the distance DE

substitute in the formula

step 6

Find the distance AE

substitute in the formula

step 7

Find the perimeter

substitute the values

Round to the nearest tenth of a unit

to plot points   for x just start at the origin (middle) and go to the left however many times it say(if the number is a positive) if the number is a negative then go right however many times it says if it is 0 go nowhere

now keep you pencil there and go up however many times it says on y(if it is positive) if it is negative then go down however many times it says. if it says 0 go nowhere.

you have just plotted a point! now when you finish plotting all of them connect them with a ruler

plot each point as (-3, 7), (0,4), (3,1), (8,-4)   in the parenthesis on the left of the comma is x and the right is y.

hope it

step-by-step explanation:

x^(1/6) · x^(1/6) · x^(1/6)   ·x^(1/6) = x^(4/6)   since we add the exponents

4/6 can be simplified to 2/3

the simplified form is x^(2/3)
