Question

The vertices of a rectangle are plotted in the image shown.

A graph with the x-axis and y-axis labeled and starting at negative 8, with tick marks every one unit up to positive 8. There are four points plotted at negative 2, 6, then 3, 6, then negative 2, negative 3, and at 3, negative 3.

What is the perimeter of the rectangle created by the points?
14 units
19 units
28 units
45 units

Answer 1

The rectangle's width = 3 - (−2) = 5 and height = 6 - (−3) = 9.
Perimeter = 2(5 + 9) = 28 units.

Answer: 28 units.
