1) It's best to draw out a picture of a rectangle and label each corner with the coordinates given: Let's say (-5, 2) is point A, (-5, -2 1/3) is point B, (2 1/2, 2) is point C, and (2 1/2, -2 1/3) is point D.
2) That being said, line AB is one side of the rectangle, BC is another, CD is another, and lastly, AD is the fourth side.
3) We can use the distance formula and plug in the coordinates of each line to find how long every side is. Then you just need to solve it.
For example: if I want to find how long side AB is, I would use the point A (-5, 2) and B (2 1/2, 2) and plug them into the distance formula, where (-5, 2) is (x1, x2) and (2 1/2, 2) is (x2, y2) and solve that.
4) Repeat this process with side BC, CD, and AD, and add the results together. This will be your final answer; the perimeter of the rectangle.
The Area of the platform is 33m²
Step-by-step explanation:
As the question says, the height of vertex from the base (D from AB) is 7m whereas the height of left vertex from the base (E from AB) is 4m
Thus it means the height of the Δ DCE (DX)= 7-4 ⇒3m
Since the platform is five-sided, the figure can be broken down into constituting parts
- Parallelogram ║ABCE
- Δ DCE
Are of the figure= Area of ║ABCE+ area Δ DCE
Area of ║ABCE= breadth * height
= 6*4 ⇒24m
²
Area Δ DCE= ½*(base)(height)
Putting the value of base is 6m and height as 3m
Area Δ DCE= ½*6*3
=9m
²
Total area= 24+9= 33m
