This math topic focuses on using a Cartesian grid to solve geometry problems involving calculating the area of obtuse triangles and identifying missing coordinates, potentially including negative values. The exercises require students to apply their understanding of the area formula for triangles and coordinate geometry to deduce missing x or y values for specified points on triangles plotted on a grid, given the area of the triangle.
