Answer:

Perimeter of the rectangle = 44 units

Explanation:

Let the coordinates given are the vertices A(-7, 6), B(3, 6), and C(3, -6) of the rectangle.

Since, opposite sides of a rectangle are equal in length,

Fourth vertex of the rectangle will be D(-7, -6)

Length of AB = 3 - (-7) = 10 units

Length of BC = 6 - (-6) = 12 units

Length of CD = 3 - (-7) = 10 units

Length of AD = 6 - (-6) = 12 units

Therefore, perimeter of the rectangle = 2(Length + width)

= 2(12 + 10)

= 44 units
