Question

Rectangle ABCD is graphed in the coordinate plane. The following are the vertices of the rectangle: A(2, -6), B(5, -6), C(5, -2) and D(2, -2). What is the perimeter of rectangle ABCD?

Answer 1

Answer:

14 units.

Step-by-step explanation:

Graph all the points on a coordinate grid. Two sides are 4 units each and the other two sides are 3 unites each.

P = 2(l + w)

P = 2(3 + 4)

P = 6 + 8 ← (The distributive property) OR 2(7) ← (Normal way to solve)

P = 14 units and 14 units.

You could also do addition.

P = 3 + 3 + 4 + 4

P = 6 + 8

P = 14 units
