Question

The upper-left coordinates on a rectangle are (-5, 6), and the upper-right coordinates are (-2, 6). The rectangle has a perimeter of 16 units. Draw the rectangle on the coordinate plane below.

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the upper-left coordinates on a rectangle as (-5, 6), and the upper-right coordinates as (-2, 6), the distance between the two coordinates will be equal to the length of one side of the rectangle. Using the formula for calculating the distance between two points as shown;

D = √(x2-x1)²+(y2-y1)²

The the upper left coordinates be A (-5, 6) and  the upper right coordinates be B(-2, 6).

AB = √(-2-(-5))²+(6-6)²

AB = √(-2+5)²

AB = √3²

AB = 3 units = Breadth of the rectangle

Give the perimeter of the rectangle to be 16 units, we can get the length of the rectangle using the formula;

Perimeter of a rectangle = 2(L+B)

16 = 2(3+L)

16 = 6+2L

10 = 2L

L = 5units

The length of the triangle is 5units
