1. Drawing Polygons and Calculating the Lengths of Their Sides in Real World Situations CCSS.Math.Content.6.G.A.3CCSS.Math.Content.6.G.A.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.
