Step-by-step solution for: Shape Up! (with Answer Key) | LoveToTeach.org
Let’s solve this step by step.
We are given 8 sets of coordinate points (X, Y). For each set, we need to:
1. Plot the points on a grid (mentally or on paper).
2. Connect them in order — and also connect the last point back to the first to close the shape.
3. Count how many sides the shape has → that tells us what kind of polygon it is.
4. Then color it according to the rules at the bottom:
- Triangle (3 sides) → blue
- Quadrilateral (4 sides) → green
- Pentagon (5 sides) → red
- Hexagon (6 sides) → orange
- Octagon (8 sides) → purple
Note: All shapes here are closed polygons because they start and end at the same point (you can see the first and last coordinates are often the same, or implied to connect back).
Let’s go one group at a time.
---
Group 1:
(10,10), (13,15), (16,10), (10,10)
→ Points: A(10,10), B(13,15), C(16,10), then back to A(10,10)
That’s 3 distinct points → forms a triangle? Wait — let’s count the segments:
A to B → side 1
B to C → side 2
C to A → side 3
Yes! 3 sides → Triangle → Color blue
Wait — but there are 4 listed points? Actually, the first and last are the same: (10,10) appears twice. So it’s 3 unique vertices → triangle.
✔ Triangle → Blue

Group 2:
(1,16), (7,16), (9,19), (3,19), (1,16)
Points: A(1,16), B(7,16), C(9,19), D(3,19), back to A(1,16)
Count the sides:
A-B, B-C, C-D, D-A → 4 sides → Quadrilateral → Green
✔ Quadrilateral → Green

Group 3:
(18,5), (16,7), (14,7), (12,5), (12,3), (14,1), (16,1), (18,3), (18,5)
List: A(18,5), B(16,7), C(14,7), D(12,5), E(12,3), F(14,1), G(16,1), H(18,3), back to A(18,5)
How many sides? From A to B to C to D to E to F to G to H to A → that’s 8 segments → Octagon → Purple
✔ Octagon → Purple
---
Group 4:
(7,1), (7,3), (5,3), (5,1), (7,1)
Points: A(7,1), B(7,3), C(5,3), D(5,1), back to A(7,1)
Sides: A-B, B-C, C-D, D-A → 4 sides → Quadrilateral → Green
✔ Quadrilateral → Green
---
Group 5:
(3,11), (6,11), (8,8), (6,5), (3,5), (1,8), (3,11)
Points: A(3,11), B(6,11), C(8,8), D(6,5), E(3,5), F(1,8), back to A(3,11)
Sides: A-B, B-C, C-D, D-E, E-F, F-A → 6 sides → Hexagon → Orange
✔ Hexagon → Orange
---
Group 6:
(6,12), (6,14), (8,15), (10,14), (10,12), (6,12)
Points: A(6,12), B(6,14), C(8,15), D(10,14), E(10,12), back to A(6,12)
Sides: A-B, B-C, C-D, D-E, E-A → 5 sides → Pentagon → Red
✔ Pentagon → Red
---
Group 7:
(2,21), (8,21), (9,24), (2,21)
Points: A(2,21), B(8,21), C(9,24), back to A(2,21)
Sides: A-B, B-C, C-A → 3 sides → Triangle → Blue
✔ Triangle → Blue
---
Group 8:
(15,16), (19,19), (17,23), (13,23), (11,19), (15,16)
Points: A(15,16), B(19,19), C(17,23), D(13,23), E(11,19), back to A(15,16)
Sides: A-B, B-C, C-D, D-E, E-A → 5 sides → Pentagon → Red
✔ Pentagon → Red

Now let’s summarize all 8 groups with their colors:
1. Triangle → Blue
2. Quadrilateral → Green
3. Octagon → Purple
4. Quadrilateral → Green
5. Hexagon → Orange
6. Pentagon → Red
7. Triangle → Blue
8. Pentagon → Red
So the final answer is the list of colors for each group in order.
Final Answer:
Blue, Green, Purple, Green, Orange, Red, Blue, Red
