Question

The coordinates of a rectangle, LMNO, are L(- 1,3), M(2,3), N(2, - 5), and 0(- 1,- 5).

a. What is the length and width of this rectangle?
b. What is the perimeter of the rectangle?
c. What is the area of the rectangle?

Answer 1

length = 8; width = 3

perimeter = 22

area = 24

Explanation:

L(- 1,3), M(2,3)

LM = |-1 - 2| = 3

M(2,3), N(2, - 5)

MN = |-5 - 3| = 8

length = 8; width = 3

perimeter = 2(L + W) = 2(8 + 3) = 22

area = LW = 8 × 3 = 24
