Question

In a coordinate plane, plot the polygon with vertices: (-3,-2) (-5,-5) (1,-5) (3,-2). The perimeter of the polygon is ____ units. Round your answer to the nearest tenth, if necessary

Answer 1

The plot of the polygon is attached and the perimeter is 24.1 units

How to find the perimeter

Perimeter of a polygon is the sum of the sides.

From the plot the distances between the sides are

AB = 7.3 units

BC = 6 units

CD = 3.6 units

DA = 7.2 units

Perimeter = AB + BC + CD + DA

= 7.3 + 6 + 3.6 + 7.2

= 24.1 units
