Find the perimeter of rectangle EFGH, with vertices E(−3,9), F(1,9), G(1,−5), and H(−3,−5).(1 point)
To find the perimeter of the rectangle EFGH, we need to add up the lengths of all four sides.
Using the distance formula:
- The distance between E and F is |1 - (-3)| = 4.
- The distance between F and G is |9 - (-5)| = 14.
- The distance between G and H is |1 - (-3)| = 4.
- The distance between H and E is |9 - (-5)| = 14.
Adding up all the distances:
4 + 14 + 4 + 14 = 36
Therefore, the perimeter of rectangle EFGH is 36 units.
