Answer 1

To find the perimeter of a rectangle, we need to add up the lengths of all four sides.

The distance between points A and B is 7 units (8-1) because they have the same y-coordinate (3).

The distance between points B and C is 9 units (3-(-6)) because they have the same x-coordinate (-1).

The distance between points C and D is 7 units (8-1) because they have the same y-coordinate (-6).

The distance between points D and A is 9 units (3-(-6)) because they have the same x-coordinate (-8).

Adding up these distances, the perimeter of rectangle ABCD is 7 + 9 + 7 + 9 = 32 units.

Therefore, the correct answer is:

32 units
