Find the perimeter AND area of the polygon with the given vertices: W (5,-1), X (5,6), Y (2,-1), Z (2,6)

Answer 1

It's 3x7 rectangle, with Area = LxW = 21

The perimeter is 2(L+W) = 2(3+7) = 2(10) =20

width is 3 = 5-3 the x-coordinates' difference

length is 6- - 1 = 7, the difference in y coordinates

You can see it all best if you make a rough sketch or graph the points, and connect them with straight vertical and horizontal lines.
