To find the perimeter of the outside of the house, we need to calculate the length of each side and then sum them up.
Side AB:
The x-coordinate of point A is 6 and the x-coordinate of point B is also 6. Therefore, the length of side AB is |6 - 6| = 0 yards.
Side BC:
The y-coordinate of point B is -6 and the y-coordinate of point C is also -6. Therefore, the length of side BC is |-6 - (-6)| = 0 yards.
Side CD:
The x-coordinate of point C is -4 and the x-coordinate of point D is also -4. Therefore, the length of side CD is |-4 - (-4)| = 0 yards.
Side DA:
The y-coordinate of point A is 12 and the y-coordinate of point D is also 12. Therefore, the length of side DA is |12 - 12| = 0 yards.
Now, we can calculate the perimeter by summing up the lengths of the sides:
Perimeter = AB + BC + CD + DA = 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 = 0 yards.
Therefore, the perimeter of the outside of the house is 0 yards.
A contractor is building a new house. She creates a map with the coordinates A(6,12)
, B(6,−6)
, C(−4,−6)
, and D(−4,12)
. Each unit on the coordinate plane represents 1 yard. What is the perimeter of the outside of the house?(1 point)
yards
