Question

The vertices of a polygon are A(0,4), B(5,4), C(5,-3) and D(0,-3). Graph the vertices and connect them in order. What is the perimeter of the polygon? Show work, please because my teacher will ask for it on a separate piece of paper. THANKS

Answer 1

The perimeter of the shape is 24 units.

If you plot the shape, you will see that you have a rectangle. The length of the rectangle is 7 and the width is 5.

To find the perimeter, just add up the 4 sides.

7 + 7 + 5 + 5 = 24
