On a coordinate grid, 1 square unit equals 14 square mile. A rectangular walking path has vertices at (−4, 5) (1, 5), (−4, -5) and (1, −5). How long is the walking path?

Explain why you would use a coordinate grid to find area or perimeter?

126 square miles

Step-by-step explanation:

So I just draw a grid and mark the thingies (sorry my math vocabulary is not very good)

So you get a rectangle that is 5x9 if you connect the dot thingies and 9 square units is 14 square miles and 9x14=126. Using a coordinate grid makes it easier to visualize what you’re doing
