Hello Brionna. Here is the distance formula:
Distance Formula: Given the two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2), the distance d between these points is given by the formula:
(x2−x1)^2+(y2−y1)^2 = d
I bet you can solve this problem now...
(Apply formula for each side, then sum sides to find perimeter.

Hmmmm...
√(x2−x1)^2+(y2−y1)^2 = d
So, if (1,−1), (−6,5), and (−4,−3)
Then √(-6 - 1)^2 + (5 - -1)^2 = √49 + 36 = √85 So, that's one side.
Continue with the other two sides and then sum. You can do it.

For all sides I got sqrt of 85, sqrt of 68, and sqrt of 29

which all together is 22.8 and I’m still getting the wrong answer
