To find the length of the rectangle, we can calculate the difference between the x-coordinates of points A and B: 5 - 1 = 4 miles. This is also the length of the rectangle.
To find the width of the rectangle, we can calculate the difference between the y-coordinates of points A and D: -1 - (-3) = 2 miles.
The perimeter of the rectangle can then be calculated by adding the lengths of all four sides: 4 + 2 + 4 + 2 = 12 miles. Therefore, the perimeter of the rectangle is 12 miles.
ply the techniques of using the coordinates to find the length and the width of the polygon. Use the length and the width to find the perimeter of the polygon in miles. Rectangle ABCD has vertices point A (1,−3), point B (5, −3), point C (5, −1), and point D (1, −1).(1 point)
