Question

Find the perimeter and area of the polygon with given vertices

Answer 1

Let's begin by listing out the information given to us:

`\begin{gathered} A(-3,3),B(-3,-1),C(4,-1),D(4,3) \\ AB=3-(-1)=3+1=4_{} \\ BC=|-3-4|=|-7|=7 \\ CD=|-1-3|=|-4|=4 \\ AD=|-3-4|=|-7|=7 \\ \\ Perimeter=2(l+w)=2(7+4)_{}=2(11)=22 \\ Perimeter=22unit \\ \\ Area=lw=7\cdot4=28unit^2 \\ Area=28unit^2 \end{gathered}`
