options: Use coordinates to prove simple geometric theorems algebraically. For example, prove or disprove that a figure defined by four given points in the coordinate plane is a rectangle; prove or disprove that the point (1, Ö3) lies on the circle centered at the origin and containing the point (0, 2).

Find the point on a directed line segment between two given points that partitions the segment in a given ratio.

Prove the slope criteria for parallel and perpendicular lines and use them to solve geometric problems (e.g., find the equation of a line parallel or perpendicular to a given line that passes through a given point).

Use coordinates to compute perimeters of polygons and areas of triangles and rectangles, e.g., using the distance formula.
problem_activity: A family has a house on a plot of land and would like to build an addition. The map below shows the “footprint” of the original house, the proposed addition, and the family’s plot of land. Each grid line represents 10 linear feet.
[IMG]
The family’s plot of land is rectangular. What are the values of the missing coordinates,
$$x$$
and
$$y$$
?
What is the ratio of the proposed addition “footprint” area to the original house “footprint” area?
What is the area of land that will not have a building on it if the proposed addition is approved and built?
Prove that the proposed addition “footprint” is a right triangle.
