Rectangle ABCD has vertices point A (−5, 1) , point B (−2, 1) , point C (−2, 6) , and point D (−5, 6) . Find the perimeter of the rectangle in feet.(1 point)

Question

The perimeter of rectangle ABCD is____feet.

Answer 1

The perimeter of a rectangle is found by adding up the lengths of all four sides.

Side AB: Distance between (-5, 1) and (-2, 1)
= 3 units

Side BC: Distance between (-2, 1) and (-2, 6)
= 5 units

Side CD: Distance between (-2, 6) and (-5, 6)
= 3 units

Side DA: Distance between (-5, 6) and (-5, 1)
= 5 units

Adding up all four sides:
Perimeter = 3 + 5 + 3 + 5 = 16 feet

Therefore, the perimeter of rectangle ABCD is 16 feet.
