Plot the points $A\left(5, 3\right), B\left(−4, 3\right), C\left(−4, −6\right)$, and $D\left(5, −6\right)$ on a set of axes. Use a ruler to connect them in order, including $D$ back to $A$, to form a quadrilateral (a shape with four sides).  A-31 HW eTool  

1. What kind of quadrilateral was formed?

   Hint (a):

   A quadrilateral is any closed, four-sided figure.

   Answer (b):

   $9$ units

3. What is the area of the quadrilateral?

   Hint (c):

   Use your answers from parts (a) and (b) to find and complete the area formula.

4. What is the perimeter of the quadrilateral?

• Hint (d):

  Add the lengths of each side.
