Problem:

 

Using a coordinate grid, create a figure for each of the following descriptions.

 

 For each, give the coordinate of the vertices of the figure.[1]

 

1)      A square with a perimeter between 15 and 25 units and a vertex at (1, 2).

 

2)      A right triangle with vertices at (0, 1) and (0, -3).

 

3)      An acute triangle with vertices at (0, 1) and (0, -3).

 

4)      A rectangle with a vertex at (1, 2) and area of 12 square units.
