Question

What's the perimeter of rectangle DEFG, shown? A) 17 B) 28 C) 40 D) 34

Answer 1

Answer:

$\huge\boxed{Perimeter = 34\ units}$

Step-by-step explanation:

DE = 10 units

GF = 10 units

DG = 7 units

EF = 7 units

Perimeter of rectangle = Sum of all sides

P = DE + GF + DG + EF

P = 10 + 10 + 7 + 7

Perimeter = 34 units

Answer 2

Answer:

D) 34 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Coordinates:

D: (-5,4)

E: (5,4)

F: (5, -3)

G: (-5,-3)

Distance between points D and E = Distance between points F and G = 10

Distance between points E and F = Distance between points G and D = 7

Formula for perimeter of your rectangle:

2(x) + 2(y) =

2(10) + 2(7) =

20 + 14 = 34 units

That's your answer!

Hope that helps and maybe earns a brainliest!
