You draw a rectangle with vertices at (-3.5,3), (3.5,3), (3.5. - 3), and (-3.5. - 3). What is the
perimeter and area of the rrectangle?
What is the perimeter and area of the rectangle

Respuesta :

Answer:

P = 26 units

Area =  42 square units.

Step-by-step explanation:

Notice that the points are showing a rectangle with length with a horizontal segment on the coordinate plane that goes from -3.5 to 3.5 (7 units in length), and width a vertical segment from -3 to 3 (6 units in length).

Therefore the rectangle's perimeter (P) is:

P = 2 L + 2 W = 2* 7 + 2 * 6 = 14 + 12 = 26 units.

The area of the rectangle is given by:

Area = L * W = 7 * 6 = 42 square units.
