If given only the coordinates of the vertices, describe a process you could use to find the perimeter and area of a square. Summarize your answer

Question

debbieg · Answer

With the coordinates of the vertices, you could use the formula for the distance between two points to come up with a side length:

$\large d=\sqrt{(x_{1}-x_{2})^{2}+(y_{1}-y_{2})^{2}}$

Just make sure you pick two points that are endpoints of a side (think about how you can be sure of that).

Once you have a side length, you can use that for perimeter and area - do you know how?
