Answer:

The perimeter of the rectangle is 54, and the area is 170.

Explanation:

First, we must plug the coordinates into a graph (attached below).

$l=10\\w=17$

Now, we must solve for the perimeter.

$P=2(l+w)\\P=2(10+17)\\P=2*27\\P=54$

Lastly, we must solve for the area.

$A=wl\\A=(17)(10)\\A=17*10\\A=170$

You're welcome!
