Solve It!
You and your friend have two choices for wall decorations. You say the decoration on the top will use more wall space. Your friend says the two decorations will use the same amount of wall space.
Who is correct? Explain.
Take Note: Match each formula with the measurement it is used to find.
You may need to zoom out to see all of the items. You can also match each item from the left column by selecting it (clicking it) then selecting (clicking on) its match on the right.

Graph quadrilateral JKLM with vertices
Be sure to include relevant graph detail: label axes and indicate units on both axes.
Problem 3 Got It?
What is the perimeter of quadrilateral JKLM, from the previous item? Enter only a number.
GeoGebra: The vertices of quadrilateral JKLM, from the previous items, are plotted for you on the GeoGebra Math Calculator embedded above. Complete the following steps to verify your solutions from above.
1. Use the Polygon tool to connect the vertices and construct the quadrilateral.
2. Note that each segment's length is displayed when the final side of the polygon is created.
3. Note also that some measurement of the quadrilateral itself is also calculated automatically, but 22 is not the perimeter. It is the area.
4. To find the area, click on the measurement button (look for the image of a line with cm) and select Distance or Length.
5. Click on the quadrilateral to calculate the perimeter of the polygon and display it on a label. Note that it is also added to the left sidebar.
What is the perimeter of quadrilateral JKLM?
Enter only a number.
Side Note: The following are insights I gained after visiting with an engineer about the importance of mathematics in his profession.
While calculators and computer applications are used for most modern technical computations, the ability of a human being to quickly analyze the "reasonable-ness" of the results is crucial. Understanding the foundational concepts and formulas behind the computer algorithms ensures that mistakes can be identified quickly to reduce costly and dangerous errors.
