Asked by Jake
Rectangle side is represented by (2,3) and (-6,4). Find the perimeter of rectangle.
Is this correct?
(-6-2), 4-3)
sqrt(8^2+1^2)
sqrt(65)
=8.062257748(2)
=16.124?

Hmmmm.
one side is given, corners at given two points, so you know that side, and the opposite side. You can determine the length of that side, and the directions of the perpendicular sides. How can this determine the length of the other two sides? You determined the length of that given side (and the opposite side, it is a rectangle). I do not see any way to determine the other two sides.

I multipled by 2 since its a rectangle, there is an example of similiar to this question but its a triangle.

Ok, you got two sides. You have to have more information to get the other two sides. You need three points.
