We can use the distance formula to calculate perimeter: [tex] \sqrt{(x_{1}-x_{2})^2+(y_{1}-y_{2})^2} [/tex] = Distance
From A to B: √232
From B to C: 10
From C to A: √52
10 + √232 + √52 = 10 + 2√58 + 2√13
Perimeter = 10 + 2√58 + 2√13 units
For Area we can use matrices, but since one of the sides is horizontal, we can just calculate with distance formula and area of triangle formula.
The area of a triangle formula is 1/2(h x b)
h=height
b=base
So the height is 6 and the base is 16. (I graphed it.)
16 * 6 = 96 96/2 = 48 Area: 48 square units.
