Perimeter of rectangle ABCD = 47.62

Step-by-step explanation:

The perimeter of a rectangle is P = 2(length + width)

You need to find length and width

If you graph, you can pick your length length and your width

Pick two points after you graph, for

Use the distance formula to find the length =

point B (4,5) will be point 1 and point C (8,-3) will be point 2

Substitute

length =

length =

length = 8.94

Use the distance formula to find the width =

point C (8,-3) will be point 1 and point D (-2,8) will be point 2

Substitute

width =

width =

width =

width =

width = 14.87

Now use formula P = 2(length + width)

P = 2(8.94 + 14.87)

Perimeter of rectangle ABCD = 47.62
