What is the perimeter of the rectangle with the coordinates (0,0),(0,5),(6,5) and (6,0)
We can start by using the distance formula to find the length of each side of the rectangle:
- The distance between (0,0) and (0,5) is 5 units (the height of the rectangle).
- The distance between (0,5) and (6,5) is 6 units (the width of the rectangle).
- The distance between (6,5) and (6,0) is 5 units (the height of the rectangle).
- The distance between (6,0) and (0,0) is 6 units (the width of the rectangle).
To find the perimeter, we add up the lengths of all sides:
5 + 6 + 5 + 6 = 22
Therefore, the perimeter of the rectangle is 22 units.
