Question

On the coordinate plane shown, each grid unit represents 10 feet. Polygon QRST has vertices Q(20, 30), R(−10, 30), S(−10, −20), and T(20, −20), and represents the floor plan of a room. Find the perimeter and area of the room.

Answer 1

The coordinate plane is missing, so i have attached it.

Answer:

Perimeter of room = 140 ft

Area of room = 1200 sq.ft

Explanation:

From the cordinate plane attached, we can see the polygon QRST which represents the floor plan of the roo.

Thus;

The length of the sides of the room are;

ST = RQ = 30

QT = RS = 40

Perimeter of a rectangle is the sum of all sides of the rectangle.

Thus, perimeter of the room = (30 × 2) + (40 × 2) = 140 ft

Now, area of a rectangle is the product of two perpendicular sides.

Thus area of room = 40 x 30 = 1200 sq.ft
