HSG.GPE.B.7: Use coordinates to compute perimeters of polygons and areas of triangles and rectangles, e.g., using the distance formula.

What you'll learn

  1. Compute the perimeter of a polygon by summing the distances between consecutive vertices using the distance formula
  2. Compute the area of a rectangle in the coordinate plane using the lengths of its sides
  3. Compute the area of a triangle given the coordinates of its three vertices, using both the base-height method and the coordinate area formula
  4. Apply the Shoelace formula to compute the area of any simple polygon given its vertices in order
  5. Solve real-world and mathematical problems involving perimeters and areas of coordinate plane figures
