The coordinates of the points below represent the vertices of a rectangle. P (2, 2) Q (6, 2) R (6, 5) S (2, 5)

What is the perimeter, in units of rectangle PQRS?

18 units

Step-by-step explanation:

5+5=10

4+4=8

8+10=18 units

14

Step-by-step explanation:

The perimeter of a rectangle is the sum of the lengths of the 4 sides of a rectangle. Since in a rectangle opposite sides are congruent, you just need to find the lengths of any two adjacent sides because adjacent sides cannot be opposite. Then add them and multiply the sum be 2 to account for the opposites sides.

Two find the distance between any two points, you can use the distance formula. If the two points lie on the same vertical line (both points have the same x-coordinate), or if the two points lie on the same horizontal line (both points have the same y-coordinate), then just subtract the different coordinates and take the absolute value.

PQ = |2 - 6| = |-4| = 4

QR = |2 - 5| = |-3| = 3

perimeter = 2(length + width)

perimeter = 2(4 + 3)

perimeter = 2(7)

perimeter = 14

step-by-step explanation:

x^2 -12x + 36 + y^2 = 36

x^2 + y^2 = 12x

r^2 = 12rcos(theta)

r = 12 cos(theta)
