This math topic focuses on finding the area of parallelograms using coordinates plotted on a Cartesian grid, including problems that feature negative coordinates. It involves applying knowledge of geometry and coordinate systems to calculate areas, enhancing skills in spatial visualization and algebraic derivation. The questions require deriving area values from diagrams where each parallelogram's vertices are given as points on the grid. This practice will develop a student's ability to interpret geometric shapes in a coordinate plane and perform necessary calculations to solve practical problems.
