Rectangle ABCD has vertices point A (−5, 1) , point B (−2, 1) , point C (−2, 6) , and point D (−5, 6) . Find the perimeter of the rectangle in feet.(1 point)
To find the perimeter of the rectangle, we need to add up the lengths of all four sides.
Side AB:
Distance between points A and B = |-2 - (-5)| = 3 units
= 3 feet
Side BC:
Distance between points B and C = 6 - 1 = 5 units
= 5 feet
Side CD:
Distance between points C and D = |-5 - (-2)| = 3 units
= 3 feet
Side DA:
Distance between points D and A = 6 - 1 = 5 units
= 5 feet
Perimeter = AB + BC + CD + DA
= 3 + 5 + 3 + 5
= 16 feet
Therefore, the perimeter of rectangle ABCD is 16 feet.
