Polygons- Find the Missing Vertex & Plot Points Review

Front

What is a polygon?

Back

A polygon is a closed figure formed by a finite number of straight line segments connected end to end.

Front

What are the properties of a square?

Back

A square has four equal sides, four right angles, and opposite sides that are parallel.

Front

How do you find the coordinates of a missing vertex in a square?

Back

To find the missing vertex, use the properties of a square and the coordinates of the other three vertices to determine the fourth point.

Front

What is a parallelogram?

Back

A parallelogram is a four-sided figure (quadrilateral) with opposite sides that are parallel and equal in length.

Front

How do you identify the coordinates of a point on a graph?

Back

Coordinates are identified as (x, y), where 'x' is the horizontal position and 'y' is the vertical position.

Front

What is the formula for the area of a rectangle?

Back

The area of a rectangle is calculated by multiplying its length by its width (Area = length × width).

Front

What does it mean to plot a point on a coordinate plane?

Back

To plot a point means to mark its location on the coordinate plane using its coordinates (x, y).

Front

What is the difference between a rectangle and a square?

Back

A rectangle has opposite sides that are equal, while a square has all four sides equal and all angles are right angles.

Front

How do you determine if four points can form a rectangle?

Back

Check if the opposite sides are equal and if the angles between adjacent sides are right angles.

Front

What is the significance of the origin in a coordinate plane?

Back

The origin is the point (0, 0) where the x-axis and y-axis intersect, serving as the reference point for all other points.
