This math topic focuses on calculating the area of rectangles using coordinates from a Cartesian grid. It includes the aspect of using both positive and negative coordinates. By determining the lengths of the sides of the rectangles, which are derived from given coordinates, students enhance their understanding of spatial relationships and geometry within the context of the Cartesian coordinate system. Each problem requires plotting the coordinates, determining the length and width of the rectangle, and subsequently calculating its area. This skill set builds foundational knowledge in geometry, logic, and grid interpretation.
