6.G.A.3: Draw polygons in the coordinate plane given coordinates for the vertices — Practice

Concepts

A triangle has vertices P(1, 1), Q(5, 1), and R(3, 4). What type
is side PQ (from P to Q)?

Horizontal, because P and Q have the same y-coordinate (both 1)

Vertical, because P and Q have the same y-coordinate (both 1)

Slanted, because the x-coordinates are different

Horizontal, because P and Q have the same x-coordinate

Two points share the same first coordinate (the same x-value).
What direction does the segment joining them run, and can its
length be found using this lesson's coordinate-difference tool?

Vertical — yes, length is the absolute difference of the y-coordinates

Horizontal — yes, length is the absolute difference of the y-coordinates

It could be slanted — use the absolute difference of the x-coordinates

It could be slanted — this lesson's tool cannot find its length

Procedures

Find the length of the horizontal segment from (-3, 4) to
(5, 4).

Find the length of the vertical segment from (1, -2) to (1, 6).

9, counting every integer point from -2 to 6

A rectangle on a coordinate grid has vertices A(1, 2), B(7, 2),
C(7, 6), D(1, 6). Find its perimeter.
