perimeter  =  twice the distance between (1, 4) and (-6, 4)   +   twice the distance between (1, 4) and (5, -5)

 

perimeter  =  \(2\cdot\sqrt{(4-4)^2+(-6-1)^2}\ +\ 2\cdot\sqrt{(-5-4)^2+(5-1)^2}\)

 

perimeter  =  \(2\cdot\sqrt{49}\ +\ 2\cdot\sqrt{97}\)

 

perimeter  =  \(2\cdot7\ +\ 2\cdot\sqrt{97}\)

 

perimeter  =  \(14\ +\ 2\sqrt{97}\)
