Question

unit 8: algebraic connections to geometry - copy
find the perimeter of square abcd.

Explanation:

Step1: Find the length of one side

Count the units between two adjacent vertices (e.g., from \(A\) to \(B\)). The horizontal distance from \(x = - 6\) to \(x = 2\) (for \(y = 4\)): \(|2-(-6)|=8\) units.

Step2: Use the perimeter formula for a square

The perimeter formula of a square is \(P = 4s\), where \(s\) is the side - length. Substitute \(s = 8\) into the formula: \(P=4\times8\).

Answer:

\(32\)
