Polygons in the Coordinate Plane
The vertices of eight polygons are given below. For each polygon:
- Plot the points in the coordinate plane and connect the points in the order that they are listed.
- Color the shape the indicated color and identify the type of polygon it is.
- Find the area.
-
The first polygon is GREY and has these vertices: (-7, 4) \; (-8, 5) \; (-8, 6) \; (-7, 7) \; (-5, 7) \; (-5, 5) \; (-7, 4)
-
The second polygon is ORANGE and has these vertices: (-2, -7) \; (-1, -4) \; (3, -1) \; (6, -7) \; (-2, -7)
-
The third polygon is GREEN and has these vertices: (4, 3) \; (3, 3) \; (2, 2) \; (2, 1) \; (3, 0) \; (4, 0) \; (5, 1) \; (5, 2) \; (4, 3)
-
The fourth polygon is BROWN and has these vertices: (0, -10) \; (0, -8) \; (7, -10) \; (0, -10)
-
The fifth polygon is PURPLE and has these vertices: (-8, -5) \; (-8, -8) \; (-5, -8) \; (-5, -5) \; (-8, -5)
-
The sixth polygon is PINK and has these vertices: (9, -1) \; (6, 1) \; (6, -3) \; (9, -1)
-
The seventh polygon is BLUE and has these vertices: (-6, -4) \; (-6, 1) \; (-9, 1) \; (-9, -4) \; (-6, -4)
-
The eighth polygon is YELLOW and has these vertices: (-5, 1) \; (-3, -3) \; (-1, -2) \; (0, 3) \; (-3, 3) \; (-5, 1)
