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?
