Q. Rectangle ABCD is graphed in the coordinate plane. The following are the vertices of the rectangle: A(5,1),B(7,1),C(7,6), and D(5,6).What is the perimeter of rectangle ABCD ? □units
Find Side Length: First, find the length of one side. Side AB: Distance between A(5,1) and B(7,1). AB=∣7−5∣=2 units.
Calculate Perimeter: Next, find the length of the other side. Side AD: Distance between A(5,1) and D(5,6). AD=∣6−1∣=5 units.
Final Result: Now, calculate the perimeter of the rectangle. Perimeter = 2imes(AB+AD)=2imes(2+5)=2imes7=14 units.
