perimeter = 10 +  √10  units

explanation:

first, we will need to get the length of each line using the distance formula which is as follows:

distance = 

1- length of ab:

ab =   = 5 units

2- length of ac

length of ac is the same as ab = 5 units

3- length of bc:

bc =   =  √10  units

now, we can get the perimeter by adding the side lengths as follows:

perimeter = 5 + 5 +  √10

perimeter = 10 +  √10  units

hope this : )

b: y = 2x + 2

step-by-step explanation:

y = 2x + 1

we want a line that is parallel, so it will have the same slope

the line is in the form y= mx+b, so the slope is 2

we have a slope and the y intercept (0,2)

since x is 0 we know the y point which is the y intercept

we can use y= mx+b to write the equation of the line

m is the slope and b is the y intercept

y = 2x +2
