Question

OPQR is a rectangle with vertices P(8,0), Q(8,6) and R. O is the origin. Calculate the perimeter of rectangle OPQR.​

Answer 1

28 units

Explanation:

Given

Rectangle OPQR with points of:

• P(8,0), Q(8,6), O (0, 0)

Solution

We can plot the points and see that the sides measure:

• PQ = 6 - 0 = 6
• OQ = 8 - 0 = 8

So the perimeter is:

• 2(6 + 8) = 28
