Coordinate Polygon Architect
You're the architect! Read each blueprint,
plot the vertices on the coordinate grid, draw the
polygon, then compute its side lengths,
perimeter, and area straight from
the coordinates — even across all four quadrants using
absolute value. Tap the grid to drop a vertex; tap a
vertex to remove it.

📏 How do I find side length, perimeter & area from
coordinates?
Level 1 support
Horizontal side (same y): length = |x₂ − x₁|. Vertical side (same x): length = |y₂ − y₁|.
Use absolute value so the length is always positive — even when
points are in different quadrants. Example: from (−3, 2) to (4, 2)
the length is |4 − (−3)| = |7| = 7 units. Perimeter = add all the side lengths. Area of a rectangle = length × width. ES: Lado horizontal = |x₂ − x₁|; lado vertical = |y₂ − y₁|. El
valor absoluto mantiene la longitud positiva.
