MA.912.G.2.7Archived Standard

Determine how changes in dimensions affect the perimeter and area of common geometric figures.

Remarks

Example:  If the lengths of each side of a trapezoid are tripled, determine the change in its area, and justify your answer.

Standard: Polygons - Identify and describe polygons (triangles, quadrilaterals, pentagons, hexagons, etc.), using terms such as regular, convex, and concave. Find measures of angles, sides, perimeters, and areas of polygons, justifying the methods used. Apply transformations to polygons. Relate geometry to algebra by using coordinate geometry to determine transformations. Use algebraic reasoning to determine congruence, similarity, and symmetry. Create and verify tessellations of the plane using polygons.
