Answer:
P = 16 inches
A = 15 square inches
Step-by-step explanation:
The rectangle has a length from (2,3) to (2,8) which is a vertical distance of 5 units since 8-3=5. The rectangle has a width of (2,8) to (5,8) which is a horizontal distance of 3 units since 5-2 =3
This means the rectangle is 5 units by 3 units.
The perimeter of a rectangle is equal to P = 2b+2h where b=base and h=height. Here the base is 5 units and the height is 3 units.
P = 2*5 + 2*3
P = 10 + 6
P = 16 inches
The area of a rectangle is A = b*h. Substitute b=5 and h=3.
A= 5*3
A = 15 square inches
