Question

Plot and connect the points A(-4,2), B(-2,2), C(-2,-3), and D(-4,-3). Then, find the perimeter of rectangle ABCD.

Answer 1

14 units

Explanation:

To find the perimeter of a rectangle, use the formula p=2l+2w

First, graph the points. You can count the units of the length and width of the rectangle. For the length, you'll get 5 units, and for the width, you'll get 2 units.

Use the formula and substitute what we know.

p=2(5)+2(2)

p=10+4

p=14

The perimeter is 14 units.
