It is not possible to determine the perimeter of the shape without knowing the specific shape and its measurements.
its, C(-6,2) D(8,2)
B(-6,-5) A(8,-5
Does this help, or will you be needing me to further explain?
B(-6,-5) A(8,-5

Thank you for providing the coordinates of the shape. With this information, we can determine the perimeter of the shape.
To find the perimeter, we need to find the lengths of each of the sides and then add them together.
Using the distance formula, we can find the length of each side:
Side AB:
Length = √[(x2 - x1)^2 + (y2 - y1)^2]
= √[(8 - (-6))^2 + (-5 - (-5))^2]
= √[14^2 + 0^2]
= √196
= 14
Side BC:
Length = √[(x2 - x1)^2 + (y2 - y1)^2]
= √[(8 - (-6))^2 + (2 - (-5))^2]
= √[14^2 + 7^2]
= √(196 + 49)
= √245
≈ 15.65
Side CD:
Length = √[(x2 - x1)^2 + (y2 - y1)^2]
= √[(8 - (-6))^2 + (2 - 2)^2]
= √[14^2 + 0^2]
= √196
= 14
Side DA:
Length = √[(x2 - x1)^2 + (y2 - y1)^2]
= √[(8 - (-6))^2 + (-5 - 2)^2]
= √[14^2 + 7^2]
= √(196 + 49)
= √245
≈ 15.65
Now, we can add the lengths of all four sides to find the perimeter:
Perimeter = AB + BC + CD + DA
= 14 + 15.65 + 14 + 15.65
= 59.3
Therefore, the perimeter of the shape defined by the coordinates C(-6,2), D(8,2), B(-6,-5), and A(8,-5) is approximately 59.3 units.

= √[(8 - (-6))^2 + (-5 - 2)^2]
= √[14^2 + 7^2]

= √245
≈ 15.65
Now, we can add the lengths of all four sides to find the perimeter:
Perimeter = AB + BC + CD + DA
= 14 + 15.65 + 14 + 15.65
= 59.3
Therefore, the perimeter of the shape defined by the coordinates C(-6,2), D(8,2), B(-6,-5), and A(8,-5) is approximately 59.3 units.
