Directions: Your task is to find (and record) the coordinates of all the points around the perimeter of the polygon (see applet below). You are given the coordinates of point A. A =  6, 5 You are also given all of the needed dimensions of the polygon to plot the rest of the points. Example: It is 5 units (to the right, thus positive), from point A to point B. So, add 5 to the x-value of point A to plot point B.  6  5, 5  B  1, 5 Type these coordinates into the “Input” field and verify. You should see a larger point appear at point B. Proceed around the polygon in an orderly fashion. If you mis-calculate and your point does not appear where you expect it to, click on the “reset” button (top-right), and try it again before moving to the next point. Once you calculate and graph the point correctly, write the coordinates in the table provided and go on to the next point.
