Answer:
The answer to your question is 20 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
Data
A = (-2, 1)
B = (4, 1)
C = (-2, -3)
D = (4, -3)
Process
1.- Calculate the distance from C and D
dCD = [tex]\sqrt{(4 + 2)^{2} + (3 - 3)^{2}}[/tex]
dCD = [tex]\sqrt{6^{2}}[/tex]
dCD = 6
2.- Calculate the distance from A to C
dAC = [tex]\sqrt{(2 - 2)^{2} + (-3 - 1)^{2}}[/tex]
dAC = [tex]\sqrt{4^{2}}[/tex]
dAC = 4
3.- Calculate the perimeter
Perimeter = 2(dCD) + 2(dAC)
-Substitution
Perimeter = 2(6) + 2(4)
-Simplification
Perimeter = 12 + 8
-Result
Perimeter = 20 ft
