Class members investigate rectangles on the coordinate plane. They determine the length of line segments in the coordinate plane with the same x-coordinate or same y-coordinate and then solve geometric problems involving perimeter and area of figures on the coordinate plane.

Concepts

• Scholars need to familiar with perimeter and area of rectangles

Pros

• Provides coordinate planes
• Includes sample solutions to all questions

Cons

• None
