You defined a rectangle, then asked for the perimeter of the triangle. What triangle?

If you really meant the perimeter of the rectangle, then use the distance formula to find the length and width.

where

and

are the coordinates of the endpoints of the segment for which you wish to determine the measure, and then use the formula for the perimeter of a rectangle:

To graph it, simply plot the four points and connect the dots.
