Question 10
What is the perimeter of the polygon with vertices (1, 1), (4, 1), (4, 5), and (1, 5)?

Remember

Remember
  • An ordered pair (x, y) gives the horizontal move first, then the vertical move.
  • The signs of x and y tell the quadrant.
  • Reflecting across the x-axis changes the sign of y; across the y-axis changes the sign of x.
  • Points that share a coordinate are a distance apart equal to the difference or sum of the absolute values.
  • Side lengths of a polygon on the plane give its perimeter and area.
