How you use a coordinate plane in area and perimeter probelms

To use the coordinate plane to help you find the perimeter and area of various shapes, you first draw the shape on the coordinate plane and then you count the number of unit squares the shape takes up. For the perimeter, it's the number of unit squares that go around the shape.

You can use it to graph shapes.

Step-by-step explanation:

To put it simply, coordinate planes help you graph and measure out certain shapes, which in the end allows you to use it for area and perimeter problems.

c. 27 units.

step-by-step explanation:

we are told that in circle a, ∠bae ≅ ∠dae.

we can see from our given diagram that in and ;

, as these are radii of our given circle.

therefore, by sas congruence postulate.

hence, side be will be equal to side de as corresponding parts of congruent triangles are congruent. so we can set an equation to find the value of x as:

now let us substitute x=17 in the expression for the length of be.

therefore, length of be will be 27 units and option c is the correct choice.
