To determine the type of figure represented by the given points \( A(-7,7) \), \( B(7,7) \), \( C(7,2) \), and \( D(-7,2) \), we can plot the points and analyze their arrangement.
1. **Identifying the Shape**:
- Points \( A \) and \( B \) both have the same \( y \)-coordinate (7), which indicates they lie on a horizontal line.
- Points \( C \) and \( D \) have the same \( y \)-coordinate (2), indicating they lie on another horizontal line.
- Points \( A \) and \( D \) both have the same \( x \)-coordinate (-7), indicating they lie on a vertical line.
- Points \( B \) and \( C \) both have the same \( x \)-coordinate (7), indicating they lie on another vertical line.
From this arrangement, it is clear that the points \( A, B, C, \) and \( D \) form a rectangle.
2. **Calculating the Area**:
- To find the area of the rectangle, we need its length and width.
- The length of the rectangle (distance between points \( A \) and \( B \) or \( C \) and \( D \)) can be calculated as:
\[
\text{Length} = x_B - x_A = 7 - (-7) = 7 + 7 = 14
\]
- The width of the rectangle (distance between points \( A \) and \( D \) or \( B \) and \( C \)) can be calculated as:
\[
\text{Width} = y_A - y_D = 7 - 2 = 5
\]
3. **Calculating the Area**:
The area \( A \) of a rectangle is given by:
\[
A = \text{Length} \times \text{Width} = 14 \times 5 = 70
\]
Thus, the figure represented by the points \( A, B, C, \) and \( D \) is a rectangle, and its area is \( 70 \) square units.

To determine the type of figure represented by the points \( A(-2, 3) \), \( B(6, -1) \), and \( C(1, -1) \), we first need to find the distances between the points to identify the shape.
1. **Calculating the Distances**:
We will calculate the distances between each pair of points using the distance formula:
\[
d = \sqrt{(x_2 - x_1)^2 + (y_2 - y_1)^2}
\]
- **Distance \( AB \)**:
\[
AB = \sqrt{(6 - (-2))^2 + (-1 - 3)^2} = \sqrt{(6 + 2)^2 + (-1 - 3)^2} = \sqrt{8^2 + (-4)^2} = \sqrt{64 + 16} = \sqrt{80} = 4\sqrt{5}
\]
- **Distance \( BC \)**:
\[
BC = \sqrt{(1 - 6)^2 + (-1 - (-1))^2} = \sqrt{(-5)^2 + (0)^2} = \sqrt{25} = 5
\]
- **Distance \( CA \)**:
\[
CA = \sqrt{(1 - (-2))^2 + (-1 - 3)^2} = \sqrt{(1 + 2)^2 + (-4)^2} = \sqrt{3^2 + 16} = \sqrt{9 + 16} = \sqrt{25} = 5
\]
2. **Analyzing the Figure**:
- We have the lengths of the sides:
- \( AB = 4\sqrt{5} \)
- \( BC = 5 \)
- \( CA = 5 \)
Since two of the sides \( BC \) and \( CA \) are equal (both 5), and \( AB \) is longer, this figure is a triangle. Specifically, it is an isosceles triangle with sides \( BC \) and \( CA \) being equal.
3. **Calculating the Perimeter**:
To find the perimeter \( P \) of the triangle, we sum the lengths of its sides:
\[
P = AB + BC + CA = 4\sqrt{5} + 5 + 5
\]
\[
P = 4\sqrt{5} + 10
\]
Thus, the figure represented by the points \( A(-2, 3) \), \( B(6, -1) \), and \( C(1, -1) \) is a triangle, and the perimeter is \( 4\sqrt{5} + 10 \) units.
1. **Calculating the Distances**:
We will calculate the distances between each pair of points using the distance formula:
\[
d = \sqrt{(x_2 - x_1)^2 + (y_2 - y_1)^2}
\]
- **Distance \( AB \)**:
\[
AB = \sqrt{(6 - (-2))^2 + (-1 - 3)^2} = \sqrt{(6 + 2)^2 + (-1 - 3)^2} = \sqrt{8^2 + (-4)^2} = \sqrt{64 + 16} = \sqrt{80} = 4\sqrt{5}
\]
- **Distance \( BC \)**:
\[
BC = \sqrt{(1 - 6)^2 + (-1 - (-1))^2} = \sqrt{(-5)^2 + (0)^2} = \sqrt{25} = 5
\]
- **Distance \( CA \)**:
\[
CA = \sqrt{(1 - (-2))^2 + (-1 - 3)^2} = \sqrt{(1 + 2)^2 + (-4)^2} = \sqrt{3^2 + 16} = \sqrt{9 + 16} = \sqrt{25} = 5
\]
2. **Analyzing the Figure**:
- We have the lengths of the sides:
- \( AB = 4\sqrt{5} \)
- \( BC = 5 \)
- \( CA = 5 \)
Since two of the sides \( BC \) and \( CA \) are equal (both 5), and \( AB \) is longer, this figure is a triangle. Specifically, it is an isosceles triangle with sides \( BC \) and \( CA \) being equal.
3. **Calculating the Perimeter**:
To find the perimeter \( P \) of the triangle, we sum the lengths of its sides:
\[
P = AB + BC + CA = 4\sqrt{5} + 5 + 5
\]
\[
P = 4\sqrt{5} + 10
\]
Thus, the figure represented by the points \( A(-2, 3) \), \( B(6, -1) \), and \( C(1, -1) \) is a triangle, and the perimeter is \( 4\sqrt{5} + 10 \) units.

I apologize for any confusion, and thank you for your patience. Let's revisit the information provided and confirm the nature of the figure formed by the points \( A(-2, 3) \), \( B(6, -1) \), and \( C(1, -1) \) to make sure we correctly identify it.
To determine if these points form a triangle, we need to check if they are collinear (on the same straight line) or non-collinear.
**Step 1: Finding the slopes of lines AB, BC, and CA**
To check if the points are collinear, we will find the slopes between the points.
1. **Calculate the slope of line segment **AB**:**
\[
\text{slope} = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1} = \frac{-1 - 3}{6 - (-2)} = \frac{-4}{8} = -\frac{1}{2}
\]
2. **Calculate the slope of line segment **BC**:**
\[
\text{slope} = \frac{-1 - (-1)}{1 - 6} = \frac{0}{-5} = 0
\]
3. **Calculate the slope of line segment **CA**:**
\[
\text{slope} = \frac{-1 - 3}{1 - (-2)} = \frac{-4}{3}
\]
**Step 2: Analyzing the slopes**
- The slope of line segment \( AB \) is \( -\frac{1}{2} \).
- The slope of line segment \( BC \) is \( 0 \), indicating that \( B \) and \( C \) are on a horizontal line.
- The slope of line segment \( CA \) is \( -\frac{4}{3} \).
Since the slopes of \( AB \), \( BC \), and \( CA \) are not the same, the points \( A \), \( B \), and \( C \) are **not collinear** and therefore do not lie on the same straight line.
### Conclusion
The points \( A(-2, 3) \), \( B(6, -1) \), and \( C(1, -1) \) do indeed form a triangle, as they are non-collinear.
The previously calculated perimeter of the triangle remains:
\[
P = 4\sqrt{5} + 10
\]

I apologize for the confusion in my earlier message regarding the perimeter. Let's clarify the results and make sure we express the answer correctly.
### Summary of the Perimeter Calculation:
1. **Distances Calculated**:
- \( AB = 4\sqrt{5} \)
- \( BC = 5 \)
- \( CA = 5 \)
2. **Perimeter**:
The perimeter \( P \) of the triangle formed by points \( A \), \( B \), and \( C \) is given by:
\[
P = AB + BC + CA = 4\sqrt{5} + 5 + 5 = 4\sqrt{5} + 10
\]
### Final Expression for the Perimeter:
- The correct expression for the perimeter is \( P = 4\sqrt{5} + 10 \).
If you want the approximate numerical value:
- Calculate \( \sqrt{5} \approx 2.236 \),
- Therefore, \( 4\sqrt{5} \approx 4 \times 2.236 \approx 8.944 \).
Adding that to 10:
\[
P \approx 8.944 + 10 \approx 18.944
\]
However, the exact answer is more correct to leave it in the form:
\[
P = 4\sqrt{5} + 10
\]
If you're looking for a representation without the radical:
\[
P \approx 18.944
\]
If there's any other way you would like to proceed or further clarifications needed, please let me know!
