Question

On a coordinate plane, points are at (negative 1, 2), (1, 2), (1, negative 4), and (negative 1, negative 4) to form a polygon with 4 sides.

Simon is training for a marathon. His daily running path, in miles, is represented by the rectangle plotted in the coordinate plane. How far does Simon run each day?
6 miles
8 miles
12 miles
16 miles

Answer 1

I believe it would be 16 miles.

Explanation:

I remember doing this stuff awhile ago and if you don't want to use the distance formula just count the boxes in between each point.

Hope it helps :)
