The vertices of a rectangle are located at (-7, -2), (-3, -2), (-7, -5), (-3, -5). Find the perimeter of the rectangle.
1. 10 units
2. 12 units
3. 14 units
4. 16 units
The distance between two consecutive points determines the length of each side of the rectangle.
The distance between (-7,-2) and (-3,-2) is 4 units (horizontally).
The distance between (-7,-2) and (-7,-5) is 3 units (vertically).
Therefore, the perimeter is 4 + 3 + 4 + 3 = 14 units.
So, the correct answer is:
3. 14 units
