Answer:
The perimeter of the rectangle is given by
[tex]P=2(x_2-x_1)+2(y_2-y_1)[/tex]
A is the correct option.
Step-by-step explanation:
Distance formula of two points is given by
[tex]d=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2[/tex]
Using the distance formula,
Length of the rectangle is given by
[tex]l=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_1-y_1)^2[/tex]
[tex]l=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2[/tex]
[tex]l=(x_2-x_1)[/tex]
Width of the rectangle is given by
[tex]w=\sqrt{(x_2-x_2)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2[/tex]
[tex]w=\sqrt{(y_2-y_1)^2[/tex]
[tex]w=(y_2-y_1)[/tex]
Hence, the perimeter of the rectangle is given by
[tex]P=2l+2w\\\\P=2(x_2-x_1)+2(y_2-y_1)[/tex]
A is the correct option.
