To calculate the perimeter of a rectangle, we first need to determine the lengths of its sides.
The given points for the rectangle are:
- Top right: (3, 4)
- Top left: (-3, 1)
- Bottom left: (1, -1)
- Bottom right: (7, 2)
From the coordinates, we can find the lengths of the sides of the rectangle:
1. **Length of the top side (horizontal distance)**:
- \( x \) coordinates of the top left (−3) and top right (3):
- Length of top side = \( 3 - (-3) = 3 + 3 = 6 \) inches
2. **Length of the left side (vertical distance)**:
- \( y \) coordinates of the top left (1) and bottom left (−1):
- Length of left side = \( 1 - (-1) = 1 + 1 = 2 \) inches
Now we have the lengths of one pair of opposite sides:
- Length = 6 inches
- Width = 2 inches
The perimeter \( P \) of a rectangle is calculated using the formula:
\[
P = 2 \times (\text{Length} + \text{Width})
\]
Substituting the values we found:
\[
P = 2 \times (6 + 2) = 2 \times 8 = 16 \text{ inches}
\]
It seems there may have been a misunderstanding with the points given since the calculations require the rectangle to form properly. The points do not necessarily correspond to an accurate rectangle, especially since they seem randomly given.
Based on the distances that we retrieved, the calculated perimeter is indeed 16 inches. However, depending on the rectangle's actual geometry and configuration defined by the corner points, you may want to double-check the points' placement to ensure they form a rectangle correctly.
If you intended to use specific distances derived from particular points for a different response choice, please clarify the geometry you desire to check.
