Polygons on the Coordinate Plane

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 characteristics of a rectangle?

Back

A rectangle is a polygon with four sides, where opposite sides are equal in length and all angles are right angles (90 degrees).

How do you find the distance between two points on a coordinate plane?

Back

Use the distance formula: Distance = √((x2 - x1)² + (y2 - y1)²).

How do you determine the fourth vertex of a rectangle given three vertices?

Back

Use the properties of rectangles: the fourth vertex can be found by ensuring opposite sides are equal and parallel.

Front

What is the perimeter of a rectangle?

Back

Perimeter = 2(length + width).

Front

What is the formula for the area of a rectangle?

Back

Area = length × width.

Front

What is a square?

Back

A square is a special type of rectangle where all four sides are equal in length and all angles are right angles.

Front

How do you find the coordinates of a point to form a square with given points?

Back

Use the properties of squares: all sides are equal and angles are right angles.
