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).
