Question

Find the perimeter of this figure. Enter your answer in the box.
(-7 , 3) (8 , 3) (-7 , -1) (2 , -1) (2 , -8) (8 , -8)

Answer 1

Answer:

56 total units

Step-by-step explanation:

Here is what the plane would look like if the figure and points were drawn.

Answer 2

Answer:

• 52 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Plot the points and connect.

Note. If you connect the points in the given order you will end up with a weird figure hence we connect as pictured.

Horizontal sides sum to:

• 2*(8  - (-7)) = 2*15 = 30

Vertical sides sum to:

• 2*(8  - (-3)) = 2*11 = 22

The perimeter is:

• 30 + 22 = 52
