Worksheet directions

Grade 6 • Guided Practice • Work with your teacher or a partner. Discuss the model or strategy, then complete each problem.

Sample questions

1. Read the vertices of the rectangle. Find AB and BC using coordinate differences, then compute perimeter.
2. A rectangle has adjacent vertices A(-4,-2), B(2,-2), C(2,4). Find the fourth vertex and explain why its coordinates combine one coordinate from A and one from C.
3. A student uses only the positive x-coordinate to measure the horizontal side of this rectangle. Explain how crossing the y-axis changes that reasoning and find the area.
4. Plot A(-2,-2), B(2,-2), C(2,2), D(-2,2). Join in order and find the side lengths and area.
5. A rectangle has adjacent vertices A(-2,-2), B(2,-2), C(2,2). Find the fourth vertex and explain why its coordinates combine one coordinate from A and one from C.
