Solution
The vertices of a triangle are (0, 0), (6, 0) and (0, 8). Its perimeter is 24 units.
Explanation:
Side between (0, 0) and (6, 0) = 6 units.
Side between (0, 0) and (0, 8) = 8 units.
Side between (6, 0) and (0, 8) = `sqrt((6 - 0)^2 + (0 - 8)^2`
= `sqrt(36 + 64)`
= 10 units
Perimeter = 6 + 8 + 10
= 24 units
