We can start by using the distance formula to find the length of each side of the rectangle:
- The distance between (0,0) and (0,5) is 5 units (the height of the rectangle).
- The distance between (0,5) and (6,5) is 6 units (the width of the rectangle).
- The distance between (6,5) and (6,0) is 5 units (the height of the rectangle).
- The distance between (6,0) and (0,0) is 6 units (the width of the rectangle).
To find the perimeter, we add up the lengths of all sides:
5 + 6 + 5 + 6 = 22
Therefore, the perimeter of the rectangle is 22 units.
What is the perimeter of the rectangle with the coordinates (0,0),(0,5),(6,5) and (6,0)
