Polygons and Algebraic Relationships

Lesson 15

Math

Unit 5

10th Grade

Lesson 15 of 15

Objective


Calculate and justify the area and perimeter of polygons on the coordinate plane given a system of inequalities. 

Common Core Standards


Core Standards

  • G.GPE.B.4 — Use coordinates to prove simple geometric theorems algebraically. For example, prove or disprove that a figure defined by four given points in the coordinate plane is a rectangle; prove or disprove that the point (1, √3) lies on the circle centered at the origin and containing the point (0, 2).
  • G.GPE.B.7 — Use coordinates to compute perimeters of polygons and areas of triangles and rectangles, e.g., using the distance formula. Modeling is best interpreted not as a collection of isolated topics but in relation to other standards. Making mathematical models is a Standard for Mathematical Practice, and specific modeling standards appear throughout the high school standards indicated by a star symbol (★). The star symbol sometimes appears on the heading for a group of standards; in that case, it should be understood to apply to all standards in that group.
  • A.REI.D.12 — Graph the solutions to a linear inequality in two variables as a half-plane (excluding the boundary in the case of a strict inequality), and graph the solution set to a system of linear inequalities in two variables as the intersection of the corresponding half-planes.

Foundational Standards

  • 6.G.A.3
  • 8.G.B.8

Criteria for Success


  1. Create a polygon by graphing a system of inequalities. 
  2. Prove a given system of inequalities creates a specific polygon. 
  3. Find the area and perimeter given a system of inequalities.
