Polygons in the Coordinate Plane - Item 35334

Drag the set of points that will form the given figures when graphed on a coordinate
grid.
Use the most specific name to classify each figure.
(3, 2), (4, 5), (7, 5), (8, 2)
(4, 1), (4, 5), (7, 5), (7, 1)
Square
(3, 4), (3, 6), (4, 6), (4,4)
(3, 4), (3, 6), (5, 6), (5, 4)
Trapezoid
CLEAR C
Rectangle
B
AND

Answer 1

The set of points that form a square are;

1. (3, 6), (5, 6), (3, 4), and (5, 4)

The set of points that form a trapezoid are;

1. (4, 5), (7, 5), (3, 2), and (8, 2)
2. (4, 1), (3, 2), (8, 2), and (7, 1)

The set of points that form a rectangle are;

1. (4, 5), (7, 5), (4, 1), and (7, 1)
2. (3, 6), (4, 6), (3, 4), and (4, 4)
3. (4, 6), (5, 6), (4, 4), and (5, 4)

What is a square?; A square is a quadrilateral with four congruent sides and four interior congruent, right angles

The polygons that are formed from the set of points can be obtained from graphing the set of points on the coordinate plane as presented in the attached graphs created with MS Excel, which shows;

The rectangles; [(4, 5), (7, 5), (4, 1), and (7, 1)], [(3, 6), (4, 6), (3, 4), and (4, 4)], and [(4, 6), (5, 6), (4, 4), and (5, 4)]

Square; (3, 6), (5, 6), (3, 4), and (5, 4)

Trapezoid; [(4, 5), (7, 5), (3, 2), and (8, 2)], [(4, 1), (3, 2), (8, 2), and (7, 1)]
