Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Find the perimeter and area of the polygon with the given vertices P(-3,4), Q(1,4), R(-3,-2), S(3,-2)
We find the length of the sides of this polygon using the formula:
√(x2 - x1)² + (y2 - y1)2
Where (x1, y1) and (x2, y2)
P(-3,4), Q(1,4)
= √(1 -(-3))² + (4 - 4)²
= √4²
= √16
= 4 units
Q(1,4), R(-3,-2)
= √(-3 - 1)² + (-2 - 4)²
= √-4² + -6²
= √16 + 36
= √52
R(-3,-2), S(3,-2)
= √(3 - (-3))² + (-2 - (-2))²
= √6²+ 0
= √36
= 6 units
P(-3,4), S(3,-2)
= √(3 - (-3))²+ ( -2 - 4)²
= √6² + -6²
= √36 + 36
= √72 units
