Answer:

D. 6√10

Explanation:

Given the vertices of a rectangle EFGH as E(7,7), F(1,5), G(2,2), and H(8,4), the perimeter if the rectangle will be the sum total of all the sides of the rectangle.

Using the expression Perimeter of rectangle EFGH = EF+FG+GH+EH

Taking the distance between adjacent vertices to get the length of each segment using the formula;

D = √(x₂-x₁)²+(y₂-y₁)²

For segment EF with vertices E(7,7), F(1,5);

EF = √(1-7)²+(5-7)²

EF = √(-6)²+(-2)²

EF = √36+4

EF = √40

EF = 2√10

For segment FG with vertices F(1,5) and G(2,2);

FG = √(2-1)²+(2-5)²

FG = √(1)²+(-3)²

FG = √1+9

FG = √10

For segment GH with vertices G(2,2), and H(8,4)

GH = √(8-2)²+(4-2)²

GH = √(6)²+(2)²

GH = √36+4

GH = √40

GH = 2√10

For segment EH with vertices E(7,7), and H(8,4)

EH = √(8-7)²+(4-7)²

EH = √(1)²+(-3)²

EH = √1+9

EH = √10

Since perimeter of rectangle EFGH = EF+FG+GH+EH

Perimeter of rectangle EFGH = 2√10+√10+2√10+√10

Perimeter of rectangle EFGH = 6√10
