- Plot all given vertices and connect them in order to form the polygon
- Find side lengths by counting grid units or using coordinate distance formulas
- Perimeter = Sum of all side lengths; Area = Use standard polygon formulas
- vertex (vértice) — A corner point of a polygon, named by an ordered pair on the coordinate plane.
- polygon (polígono) — A closed figure made of line segments; on the plane you draw it by plotting the vertices and connecting them in order.
- perimeter (perímetro) — The total distance around a polygon — the sum of all its side lengths.
- distance between vertices (distancia entre vértices) — When two vertices share an x- or y-coordinate, the distance between them is the absolute difference of the other coordinates.
- scale (escala) — What one grid unit stands for in the real situation.
- Subtracting coordinates without the absolute value — from y = 3 down to y = −3.75 the distance is 3 + 3.75 = 6.75 units, not 3.75 − 3 = 0.75. Distances that cross zero are the whole reason the absolute value is there.

6 OPEN RESPONSE
The park design used width from coordinates, then length from the area, then the scale to place the missing vertices. Design your own version: pick an area and a scale, mark two vertices, and show where the other two go.
