what is the area and perimeter of the figure with the given vertices? (7,8) , (-5, -8) , (7,-8) , (-5,8)?
1 answer:
Answer:
- perimeter: 56 units
- area: 192 square units
Step-by-step explanation:
We assume you're interested in the convex polygon, so the given vertices are <em>not</em> listed in order around the figure.
The figure is 12 units by 16 units, so has a perimeter of ...
P = 2(L +W)
P = 2(16 +12) = 56 . . . . units
and an area of ...
A = LW
A = (16)(12) = 192 . . . . square units
