Answer:

16

Explanation:

as you can see on the picture, perimeter of the rectangle is 5 + 5 + 3 + 3 = 16

or second practical solving way ;

B(1,7) - A(1,2) = 5

C(4,7) - D(4,2) = 5

C(4,7) - B(1,7) = 3

D(4,2) - A(1,2) = 3

5 + 5 + 3 + 3 = 16

Hope this helps ^-^

Answer:

16

Explanation:

You see, if you were to plot these points, (1, 2) and (1, 7) would be 5 points away from each other. If you were to plot the points (4, 2) and (4, 7) those points would also be 5 points away from each other. Now, (1, 2) and (4, 2) are 3 points apart as well as (1, 7) and (4, 7). Therefore, 5 + 5 = 10, 3 + 3 = 6, and finally, 10 + 6 = 16!
