Mastering Translations on the Coordinate Plane: A Step-by-Step
Identify the Starting Point: If you’re translating a single point, note its coordinates. For a shape, identify all the vertex coordinates. Apply the Vector: Add the vector’s x-coordinate to the x-coordinates of your points and the vector’s y-coordinate to the y-coordinates. Plot the Translated Point or Shape: Once the new coordinates are found, plot them […]
How to Classify Polygons: A Step-by-Step Guide to Shape Identification
Triangle (3 sides) Quadrilateral (4 sides) Pentagon (5 sides) Hexagon (6 sides) … and so on. Equilateral: All sides are of equal length. Isosceles: Two sides are of equal length. Scalene: No sides are of equal length. Regular Polygon: All interior angles are equal. Irregular Polygon: Not all interior angles are equal. Square: All sides […]
