Read each question carefully and follow the instructions to plot points, identify shapes, and calculate measurements on the coordinate plane.

1. Plot the following points on the coordinate plane: A(2, 3), B(2, -3), C(-4, -3), D(-4, 3). Connect the points in order. What shape is formed?

Shape formed:

2. Which of the following points would complete a square with vertices at (1,1), (1,5), and (5,5)?

(5,1)

(5,-1)

(-1,5)

(1, -5)

3. A rectangle has vertices at (1,1), (6,1), (6,4), and (1,4).

The length of the rectangle is units.

The width of the rectangle is units.

The perimeter of the rectangle is units.

The area of the rectangle is square units.

4. Plot the points P(-3, -2), Q(5, -2), and R(1, 4). Connect the points to form a triangle. What is the length of the base PQ? What is the height of the triangle from R to PQ?

Length of base PQ: units

Height of the triangle: units
