Question

The vertices of a rectangle are located at (-7, -2), (-3, -2), (-7, -5), (-3, -5). Find the perimeter of the rectangle.

1. 10 units
2. 12 units
3. 14 units
4. 16 units

Answer 1

[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

The distance between two consecutive points determines the length of each side of the rectangle.

The distance between (-7,-2) and (-3,-2) is 4 units (horizontally).

The distance between (-7,-2) and (-7,-5) is 3 units (vertically).

Therefore, the perimeter is 4 + 3 + 4 + 3 = 14 units.

So, the correct answer is:

3. 14 units
