G.3 - Draw polygons in the coordinate plane given coordinates for the vertices; use coordinates to find the length of a side joining points with the same first coordinate or the same second coordinate. Apply these techniques in the context of solving real-world and mathematical problems.
warm-up
Find the length of the line segments created by the following sets of points. (You can plot the points on the coordinate plane if necessary.)
1) Connect ( 5, -2) to (5, 7). What is the length of the line segment?
2) Connect (-4, 3) to (9, 3). What is the length of the line segment?
3) Connect (0, -8) to (0, 7.5). What is the length of the line segment?
