Correct Answer: Option C
Explanation

From the diagram above, Calculate the distance between any two vertices as follows.

PQ = \(\sqrt{(6 - 3)^2 + (2-2)^2}\) = \(\sqrt{9}\) = 3

QR = \(\sqrt{(6 - 4)^2 + (2-5)^2}\) = \(\sqrt{13}\)

PR = \(\sqrt{(4 - 3)^2 + (5 - 1)^2}\) = \(\sqrt{10}\)

\(\therefore\), perimeter = 3 +  \(\sqrt{13}\) + \(\sqrt{10}\)

There is an explanation video available below.
