Question 156516
Well, this is an interesting problem for a tutor to solve.  I don't mean the problem you stated, but the problem of what is wrong with your problem statement.


The difficulty is that quadrilateral LMNP is NOT a rectangle, it is a trapezoid.  So the problem for me becomes trying to decipher whether you want to know how, in general, to find the perimeter and area of a rectangle that is described by four ordered pairs representing the vertices, or if you need help with finding the perimeter and area of trapezoid LMNP.


Quite frankly, I'm stumped.  Write back and tell us what you really need.
