I used some site to plot the points. 

First, let's recall the formulas for Perimeter and Area of a Rectangle.
Perimeter = 2(l+w)
Area = l×w
Also, the distance formula is
D = \sqrt{( x_{2}-x_{1})^2+{(y_{2}-y_{1})^2}

Now, we need to determine l and w.
So, the length is the distance of AD or BC
and the width is the distance of DC or AB
(I'll just use the sides that I've labelled for ease)

So first to determine the length, we need to calculate the distance of AD
Points are A(3,8) and D(-6,3) 
x_{1} =3, x_{2} =8, y_{1} =6, y_{2} =-3
D_{AD}= \sqrt{( 6-3)^2+{(-3-8)^2}
D_{AD}= \sqrt{(3)^2+(-11)^2}
D_{AD}= \sqrt{9+121}
D_{AD}= \sqrt{130} ≈ 11.40
So the length of the rectangle is 11.40 units.

Now, the width!
So first to determine the width, we need to calculate the distance of DC
<span>Points are D(-6,3) and C(-4,-1)
</span><span>x_{1} =6, x_{2} =-4, y_{1} =-3, y_{2} =-1
</span>D_{DC}= \sqrt{(-4-6)^2+{(-1- -3)^2}
D_{DC}= \sqrt{(-4-6)^2+{(-1+3)^2}
D_{DC}= \sqrt{(-10)^2+(2)^2}
D_{AD}= \sqrt{100+4}
<span>D_{AD}= \sqrt{104} ≈ 10.20
</span>So the width of the rectangle is ≈<span>10.20 units.
</span>
Let's now solve for Perimeter and Area using
l = 11.40
w = 10.20

Perimeter = 2(l+w)
Perimter = 2(11.40+10.20)
Perimter = 2(21.60)
Perimter = 43.2 units

<span>Area = l×w
</span>Area = (11.40)(10.20)
Area = 116.28 
Area = 116.3 units² (rounding)

In conclusion, given points A(3,8) B(5,4) C(-4,-1) D(-6,3), the Perimeter is 43.2 units and the Area is  ≈<span>116.3 units² using the distance formula. </span>

True or face dilations preserve angle measure
Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

Answer:

True

Step-by-step explanation:

Required

Does dilation preserve angle measure?

When a point, side, line, or angle is dilated; the length of the line will be altered by the ratio or scale of dilation.

However, the measure of angle will remain the same.

<em>Hence, the given statement is true.</em>

I'm not really looking for an exact answer, I'm more so looking for an explanation on how to do this.
marshall27 [118]

I would have each block be 1/6 of a yard

You could technically have any value you want, but for me 1/6 is easiest because 1/2 and 1/3 will scale up to this like so

1/2 = (1/2)*(3/3) = 3/6

1/3 = (1/3)*(2/2) = 2/6

The diagram below might help if you're still stuck on why I picked 1/6.
