To find the perimeter of the polygon, we need to calculate the distance between each consecutive pair of points and then sum them up.
The distances between the points are:
AB = 7 units
BC = 12 units
CD = 5 units
DE = 5 units
EF = 4 units
FA = 8 units
Adding these distances together:
Perimeter = AB + BC + CD + DE + EF + FA
Perimeter = 7 + 12 + 5 + 5 + 4 + 8
Perimeter = 41 units
Since each unit represents 1 kilometer, the perimeter of the polygon is 41 kilometers.
Use the image to answer the question.
A coordinate plane shows the x-axis ranging from negative 9 to 9 in unit increments and the y-axis ranging from negative 11 to 11 in unit increments. Six plotted points are joined to form a composite figure. The six plotted points are upper A, upper B, upper C, upper D, upper E, and upper F. The coordinates of the plotted points are as follows: point upper A is left parenthesis 2 comma negative 6 right parenthesis, point upper B is left parenthesis negative 5 comma negative 6 right parenthesis, point upper C is left parenthesis negative 5 comma 6 right parenthesis, point upper D is left parenthesis 6 comma 6 right parenthesis, point upper E is left parenthesis 6 comma 1 right parenthesis, and point upper F is left parenthesis 2 comma 1 right parenthesis.
