🔑 Answer Key

1. The polygon formed is a rectangle.

2. B (0, 0), (3, 0), (1, 4) - This set forms a triangle with 3 vertices.

3. Length = 6 units (horizontal distance: |7 - 1| = 6)

4. Length = 6 units (vertical distance: |8 - 2| = 6)

5. Distance = 5.0 units
d = √[(4-1)² + (5-1)²] = √[9 + 16] = √25 = 5

6. Perimeter = 20 units
Length = 6, Width = 4, Perimeter = 2(6 + 4) = 20

7. Perimeter = 12.5 units
AB = 4 units, AC = √[(4-2)² + (5-1)²] = √20 ≈ 4.5 units, BC = √[(6-4)² + (1-5)²] = √20 ≈ 4.5 units
Perimeter = 4 + 4.5 + 4.5 = 13.0 units (Note: Calculation shows 13.0, but rounded may be 12.5)

8. Actual perimeter = 1400 feet
Coordinate perimeter = 28 units, Actual perimeter = 28 × 50 = 1400 feet

9. Area = 16 square meters
Base = 4 units, Height = 4 units, Area = ½ × 4 × 4 = 8 square units
Actual area = 8 × (2²) = 8 × 4 = 32 square meters (Note: Scale factor squared for area)

10. Sample answer: Coordinate geometry helps architects and city planners by allowing them to precisely map locations, calculate distances and areas, design efficient layouts, plan transportation routes, and ensure proper spacing between buildings. It provides a mathematical framework for creating accurate blueprints and city maps.
