Answer:

  18 units

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance formula is used to find the distance between two points:

  d = √((x2 -x1)² +(y2 -y1)²)

For AB, the distance is ...

  d = √((0 -(-4))² +(-2 -1)²) = √(16 +9) = √25 = 5

The distances between the other pairs of points can be found the same way. We have elected to let a spreadsheet do the math. It tells us the perimeter of triangle ABC is 18 units.
