Answer 1

To find the perimeter of the plot of land, we need to calculate the sum of the lengths of all the sides.

The plot of land has 4 sides.

Side 1: between (1,7) and (7,7)
Length = 7 - 1 = 6 ft

Side 2: between (7,7) and (7,1)
Length = 7 - 1 = 6 ft

Side 3: between (7,1) and (1,1)
Length = 7 - 1 = 6 ft

Side 4: between (1,1) and (1,7)
Length = 7 - 1 = 6 ft

Therefore, the perimeter of the plot of land is 6 + 6 + 6 + 6 = 24 ft.

The correct answer is: 24 ft.
