CC Geometry H Aim #8: How do we find perimeter and of in the Cartesian Plane? Do Now: Find the area of the below using decomposition and then using the shoelace formula (also known as Green's theorem).

1) Given rectangle ABCD, a. Identify the vertices.

b. Find the exact perimeter.

c. Find the area using the area formula.

d. List the vertices starting with A moving counterclockwise and apply the shoelace formula. Does the method work for ? 2) Calculate the area using the shoelace formula and then find the perimeter (nearest hundredth).

3) Find the perimeter (to the nearest hundredth) and the area of the with vertices A(-3,4), B(4,6), C(2,-3), and D(-4,-4).

4) A textbook has a picture of a triangle with vertices (3,6) and (5,2). Something happened in printing the book and the coordinates of the third vertex are listed as (-1, ). The answers in the back of the book give the area of the triangle as 6 square units. What is the y-coordinate of this missing vertex? 5) Find the area of the with vertices A(5,8), B(4,-3), C(-1,-2), D(-2,4), and E(2,6).

6) Show that the shoelace formula used on the trapezoid shown confirms the traditional formula for the area of a trapezoid: 1 (b1 + b2)h 2

D (x3,y) C (x2,y)

A B (x ,0) (0,0) 1

7) Find the area and perimeter (exact and nearest hundredth) of the hexagon shown.

Let's Sum it Up! To find the area of a , you can use the shoelace formula, which is also referred to as Green's theorem. *Remember: pick a starting point and move in a counter-clockwise direction!* Name______CC Geometry H Date ______HW #8 1) Given triangle ABC with vertices, A(7, 4), B(1, 1), and C(9, 0). a. Find the exact perimeter.

b. Find the area using the traditional area formula.

c. Find the area using the shoelace formula.

d. Explain why the shoelace formula might be more useful and efficient if you were just asked to find the area.

2) Given triangle ABC and quadrilateral DEFG, describe how you would find the area of each and why you would choose that method, and then find the .

3) Find the area and perimeter (nearest hundredth) of quadrilateral ABCD with vertices: A(6,5), B(2, -4), C(-5, 2), and D(-3, 6). 4) Find the area and perimeter (nearest hundredth) of pentagon ABCDE with vertices A(2,6), B(7,2), C(3,-4), D(-3,-2), and E(-2,4).

Review: 1) Solve for x given BD = 4x + 2 and AE =6x + 8. Assume B is the midpoint of AC and D is the midpoint of CE.

2) In the diagram below of right triangle ΔACB, altitude CD is drawn to hypotenuse AB. If AB = 36 and AC = 12, what is the length of AD? C

12

A B D 36
