To find the length and width of the rectangle, we can use the distance formula which is:
Distance = √((x2 - x1)^2 + (y2 - y1)^2)
For the length AB, we have:
AB = √((5 - 1)^2 + (-3 - (-3))^2)
AB = √(4^2 + 0^2)
AB = √16
AB = 4 miles
For the width AD, we have:
AD = √((1 - 1)^2 + (-1 - (-3))^2)
AD = √(0^2 + 2^2)
AD = √4
AD = 2 miles
To find the perimeter of the rectangle, we add up all the sides:
Perimeter = AB + BC + CD + DA
Perimeter = 4 + 2 + 4 + 2
Perimeter = 12 miles
So, the perimeter of the rectangle ABCD is 12 miles.
