M(4,8)
JK = 8 +1 -1=
KL=1-3+4 =​
Perimeter units?

Answer 1

The perimeter of the Rectangle JKLM is 32 unit.

Explanation:

Consider the provided coordinates.

Rectangle JKLM: J(-3, 8), K(-3,-1), L(4, -1), M(4,8)

First plot the points as shown in figure:

The required figure is shown below:

Now find the distance between JK by using the distance formula.

`d=√(\left(x_2-x_1\right)^2+\left(y_2-y_1\right)^2)`

`d=√(\left(-3-\left(-3\right)\right)^2+\left(-1-8\right)^2)=9`

Therefore, the length of JK is 9 unit.

Now find the length of the side JM

`d=√(\left(4-\left(-3\right)\right)^2+\left(8-8\right)^2)=7`

Therefore, the length of JM is 7 unit.

The perimeter of rectangle is:
`P=2(l+b)`

Therefore,

`P=2(7+9)`

`P=2(16)`

`P=32`

Hence, the perimeter of the Rectangle JKLM is 32 unit.
