Question

Apply the techniques of using the coordinates to find the length and the width of the polygon. Use the length and the width to find the perimeter of the polygon in miles. Rectangle ABCD has vertices point A (1,−3) , point B (5, −3) , point C (5, −1) , and point D (1, −1) .(1 point)

Answer 1

no

Answer 2

To find the length of the rectangle, we subtract the x-coordinates of points A and D:
Length = Distance between A and D = |1 - 1| = 0

To find the width of the rectangle, we subtract the y-coordinates of points A and B:
Width = Distance between A and B = |-3 - (-3)| = 0

To find the perimeter, we add up all the sides:
Perimeter = 2*Length + 2*Width
Perimeter = 2*0 + 2*0 = 0

Therefore, the perimeter of the rectangle ABCD is 0 miles.

Answer 3

My apologies for the mistake. Let's calculate it correctly this time.

To find the length of the rectangle, we find the difference between the x-coordinates of points A and B:
Length = |5 - 1| = 4

To find the width of the rectangle, we find the difference between the y-coordinates of points A and D:
Width = |-3 - (-1)| = 2

Now that we have the length and width, we can calculate the perimeter of the rectangle by adding all sides:
Perimeter = 2*Length + 2*Width
Perimeter = 2*4 + 2*2
Perimeter = 8 + 4
Perimeter = 12

Therefore, the perimeter of the rectangle ABCD is 12 miles.
