Directions: Use the drawing tool(s) to form the correct answer on the provided grid.
Rectangle WXYZ has a perimeter of 32 units
point W is located at (-3,5)
Point X is located at (4,5)
Construct rectangle WXYZ.
I don't know where you got your coordinates. The problem only provided W and X.
WX has a length of 7
so XY must have a length of 9 to get a perimeter of 32
That means Y = (4,14)
and Z = (-3,14)
My apologies for the oversight. Let's correct it.
Here is the corrected rectangle WXYZ with added points Y and Z:
- Point W (-3,5)
- Point X (4,5)
- Point Y (4,14)
- Point Z (-3,14)
Now let's double-check the perimeter of the rectangle WXYZ:
2(length) + 2(width) = 2(7) + 2(9) = 14 + 18 = 32
The corrected rectangle WXYZ with the given coordinates does indeed have a perimeter of 32 units.
The rectangle WXYZ would look like this on the grid:
- Point W (-3,5)
- Point X (4,5)
- Point Y (4,-5)
- Point Z (-3,-5)
The perimeter of the rectangle WXYZ is calculated as follows:
2(length) + 2(width) = 32 units
2(7) + 2(10) = 32
14 + 20 = 32
Therefore, the initial statement given about the perimeter of the rectangle WXYZ with the coordinates provided is incorrect and does not form a rectangle with a perimeter of 32 units.
