Rectangle ABCD is graphed in the coordinate plane.The following are the vertices of the rectangle:A(-2,1),B(3,2),C(3,4),and D(-2,4), what is the perimeter of rectangle ABCD

Answer :

Answer:

Therefore,

[tex]\textrm{Perimeter of rectangle}=14\ cm[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Rectangle ABCD

vertices of the rectangle:

A(-2,2),

B(3,2),C(3,4),and D(-2,4),

Let,

Length of Rectangle be AB and Width be BC

To Find:

Perimeter of rectangle ABCD  = ?

Solution:

We Know ,

[tex]\textrm{Perimeter of rectangle}=2(Length + Width)[/tex]

Lets find length and width by Distance Formula,

[tex]l(AB) = \sqrt{((x_{2}-x_{1})^{2}+(y_{2}-y_{1})^{2} )}[/tex]

On substituting the values we get

[tex]l(AB) = \sqrt{((3+2)^{2}+(2-2)^{2} )}[/tex]

[tex]l(AB) = \sqrt{((5)^{2}}=5\ units[/tex]

Similarly,

[tex]l(BC) = \sqrt{((3-3)^{2}+(4-2)^{2} )}[/tex]

[tex]l(BC) = \sqrt{4}=2\ units[/tex]

Now substituting  AB and BC in Perimeter Formula we get

[tex]\textrm{Perimeter of rectangle}=2(AB + BC)=2(5+2)=2\times 7=14\ cm[/tex]

Therefore,

[tex]\textrm{Perimeter of rectangle}=14\ cm[/tex]

Note Here Vetex A is wrong the correct on is A(-2 ,2)
