Finding Perimeter & Area using Distance Formula
YOU MUST SHOW WORK!!!!!
Remember: Perimeter is the distance around a figure. Area of a Triangle = ½ bh and Area of a
Rectangle = lw
Graph the given points on a coordinate plane and then use the Distance Formula to find the
Perimeter and Area of each figure.
