Answer:
2 StartRoot 5 EndRoot + 2 StartRoot 17 EndRoot units
Step-by-step explanation:
The perimeter of the parallelogram is expressed as
Perimeter = WX + XY + YZ + WZ
Using the distance formula;
WX = √(0-(-1))²+(4-0)²
WX = √1²+4²
WX = √17
For XY:
XY = √(-2-(0))²+(3-4)²
XY = √(-2)²+(-1)²
XY = √4+1
XY = √5
For YZ:
YZ = √(-2+3))²+(3+1)²
YZ = √(1)²+(4)²
YZ = √1+16
YZ = √17
For WZ;
WZ = √(-3+1)²+(-1-0)²
WZ = √(-2)²+(-1)²
WZ = √4+1
WZ = √5
Perimeter = √17+√5+√17+√5
Perimeter = 2√17 + 2√5 units
