Answer:
18
Explanation:
1. Find the distance between (3,4) and (8,4)
- Subtract the x coordinates to find the distance (we subtract the x coordinates because it is horizontal)
- The distance between these points should be 5
2. Find the distance between (8,4) and (5,0)
- Subtract the y coordinates to find the distance (we subtract the y coordinates because it is vertical
- The distance between these points should be 4
3. Multiply each difference (5 and 4) by 2
- We multiply because the two sides have the same length and width ( which is 5 and 4)
- When we multiply, we should get 10 and 8
4. Add the products (10 and 8) together to find the perimeter
- The final answer should be p (perimeter) = 18
