1. **State the problem:** Find the area and perimeter of the rectangle with vertices $(-3, 3)$, $(-3, -7)$, $(4, -7)$, and $(4, 3)$.
2. **Identify the lengths of the sides:** Since the rectangle is aligned with the coordinate axes, the length and width can be found by the differences in the x-coordinates and y-coordinates of the vertices.
- Length (horizontal side) = difference in x-coordinates = $4 - (-3) = 4 + 3 = 7$ units.
- Width (vertical side) = difference in y-coordinates = $3 - (-7) = 3 + 7 = 10$ units.
3. **Formula for perimeter of a rectangle:**
$$P = 2(\text{length} + \text{width})$$
4. **Calculate the perimeter:**
$$P = 2(7 + 10) = 2(17) = 34$$ units.
5. **Formula for area of a rectangle:**
$$A = \text{length} \times \text{width}$$
6. **Calculate the area:**
$$A = 7 \times 10 = 70$$ square units.
**Final answers:**
- Area = 70 square units
- Perimeter = 34 units
Rectangle Area Perimeter 207429
