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 given by the formula P = 2(length + width).

First, we need to find the length and the width of the rectangle using the coordinates of the vertices.

Length AB = |(-5) - (-2)| = 3 units = 3 feet
Width BC = |1 - 6| = 5 units = 5 feet

Now we can calculate the perimeter:

P = 2(3 + 5) = 2(8) = 16 feet

Therefore, the perimeter of rectangle ABCD is 16 feet.
