Illustration of vertex: A corner point of a polygon, named by an ordered pair on the coordinate plane.
vertex

ES vértice

A corner point of a polygon, named by an ordered pair on the coordinate plane.

Illustration of polygon: A closed figure made of line segments; on the plane you draw it by plotting the vertices and connecting them in order.
polygon

ES polígono

A closed figure made of line segments; on the plane you draw it by plotting the vertices and connecting them in order.

Illustration of perimeter: The total distance around a polygon — the sum of all its side lengths.
perimeter

ES perímetro

The total distance around a polygon — the sum of all its side lengths.

La distancia total alrededor de un polígono: la suma de todos sus lados.

Illustration of distance between vertices: When two vertices share an x- or y-coordinate, the distance between them is the absolute difference of the other coordinates.
distance between vertices

ES distancia entre vértices

When two vertices share an x- or y-coordinate, the distance between them is the absolute difference of the other coordinates.

Cuando dos vértices comparten una coordenada x o y, la distancia es la diferencia absoluta de las otras coordenadas.

Illustration of scale: What one grid unit stands for in the real situation.
scale

ES escala

What one grid unit stands for in the real situation.

Illustration of Side length: The distance between two vertices that are joined by a side.
Side length

ES Longitud del lado

The distance between two vertices that are joined by a side.
