Frequently Asked Questions

1.

What are the key points to remember about the coordinate plane?

The coordinate plane consists of two axes: the x-axis (horizontal) and the y-axis (vertical). Points are located using ordered pairs (x, y). Points on the x-axis have a y-coordinate of 0, and points on the y-axis have an x-coordinate of 0.
2.

How do you determine if a triangle is a right-angled triangle?

To determine if a triangle is right-angled, you can check if the triangle satisfies the Pythagorean theorem. For example, if the triangle’s points are A(-2, 3), B(-2, 0), and C(2, 0), it forms a right-angled triangle.
3.

What is the process to identify a point in the coordinate plane?

To locate a point on the coordinate plane, first, find its x-coordinate on the horizontal axis, then its y-coordinate on the vertical axis. Draw perpendicular lines from both axes until they intersect at the point.
4.

How can you use coordinates to form a rectangle?

To form a rectangle, you need the coordinates of three points and determine the fourth point. For example, with points A(-2, 3), B(-2, 0), and C(2, 0), point D must be at (2, 3) to form rectangle ABCD.
5.

How are geographical coordinates used in mapping?

Geographical coordinates, such as latitude and longitude, are used to pinpoint specific locations on a map. For example, Ben Thanh Market in Ho Chi Minh City has the coordinates (10.77313; 106.69981).
