G.GPE.4-7 2011 Domain Expressing Geometric Properties with Equations Cluster Use coordinates to prove simple geometric theorems algebraically Standards 4. 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, √3) lies on the circle centered at the origin and containing the point (0, 2). 5. 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). 6. Find the point on a directed line segment between two given points that partitions the segment in a given ratio. 7. Use coordinates to compute perimeters of polygons and areas of triangles and rectangles, e.g., using the distance formula.* Essential Questions Enduring Understandings How do you use coordinate geometry to prove theorems? What properties of geometric figures can be proven using coordinate geometry? How can you derive the distance and midpoint formulas using coordinate geometry?
