You do not need a coordinate plane to draw a polygon. A polygon is simply a plane shape whose boundaries are straight line segments that meet at their ends but do not cross. So draw any number of points and draw straight ines from one to the next, and on to the next, and so on except that you must not cross an existing line and the last line must end at the starting point. And there you have it: your polygon!

How can you find the perimeter and area of a polygon in a coordinate plane?

To find the perimeter of a polygon in a coordinate plane, calculate the distance between each pair of consecutive vertices using the distance formula, and then sum these distances. For the area, you can use the Shoelace theorem, which involves multiplying the coordinates of the vertices in a specific order and then applying the formula to find the area. Alternatively, for simple polygons, you can also divide the shape into triangles and sum their areas.

What axis do you use first in a coordinate plane?

In a coordinate plane, you use the x-axis first, which is the horizontal axis. When plotting a point, you first identify the x-coordinate (horizontal position) and then the y-coordinate (vertical position) on the y-axis. This convention helps maintain consistency in graphing and understanding the relationship between the two dimensions.


Do economic analysts use coordinate planes?

Yes, almost all the time. And when it is not coordinate planes it is coordinate hype-spaces (more than just the 2 dimensions that the coordinate plane allows).


Why is the coordinate plane a useful tool in geometric shapes and transformation?

There are 2 reasons to use a cooridnate plane. The coordinate plane provides an accurate referance for determining parallel lines and other characteristics. For example, if one line runs along the x axis and one along the y, you can conclude they are perpendicular. Also, the plane allows people to draw an accurate figure based on a few numbers instead of having to specify every angle measure and every side length.
