Two-dimensional geometry. Each corner of the shape is given two reference co-ordinates (x,y). When you plot these points and join them together, you get the shape. It's like magic.
So a square has four points (corners) and they might have the reference points:
(0,0)
(0,3)
(3,3)
(3,0)
Can I edit the answer of this question to say this really doesn't answer the question? My question was more like how does: (x - h)2 + (y - k)2 = r2 represent a circle? Though more general to be like how can equations like that actually represent a shape?

What is the shape of the graph of a quadratic equation called?
A parabola.
Rule for finding the area of a parallelogram?
The rule for finding the area of a parallelogram is a simple equation of A=bh. For this equation, the A is area, b is base, and h is height. The area of a parallelogram is equal to the shape's base multiplied by the shape's height.
What represent 144 as a pattern of dots in the shape of a square?
144=12
What are the interior angles of a 12 sided shape?
The equation for and interior angle of an n sided shape is (n-2)180/n In this case we have a 12 sided shape. Plugging n=12 into the equation gives us: (12-2)180/12 = 10x180/12 = 150 Thus an interior angle of a 12 sided shape would be 150 degrees.
