Blueprint Project Coordinate Plan: Geometry

• a blueprint of a room drawn in a coordinate plane, using an appropriate scale
• a page of calculations showing how you found the perimeter and area of the remodeled room
• a paragraph discussing a real-world application of the coordinate plane
• a paragraph summarizing the videos
• a reflection about the strengths and weaknesses of your blueprint and how the weaknesses could be addressed
• classifications of three polygons that were used to represent appliances or furniture in your blueprint

10. Complete a one-paragraph summary of the information provided in the video. Your
summary should include information on the coordinate system used in navigation,
archaeology, and space.
11. Write a paragraph describing a real-world application in which the coordinate grid
system is used. Include a simple example specific to your application and a diagram,
if appropriate. You can use an idea from the movie or search the Internet. If you do
get your idea from the movie or the Internet, please cite your source.
