On the coordinate plane, the segment from D(-1,-17) to E(14,19) forms one side of a rectangle. The rectangle has an area of 546 square units. Find the perimeter of the rectangle.

Question

On the coordinate plane, the segment from D(-1,-17) to E(14,19) forms one side of a rectangle. The rectangle has an area of 546 square units. Find the perimeter of the rectangle.
Write your answer as a whole number, decimal, or simplified radical. Do not round

oobleck · Answer

the length of DE is √((14+1)^2 + (19+17)^2) = 39 the adjacent side is 546/39 = 14 so the perimeter is 2(39+14) = ____
