Coordinate Grid Calculator
Using the Coordinate Grid
This tool plots points on a Cartesian grid and calculates geometric properties if they form a polygon.
How to Use:
- Enter coordinate points in the format `(x, y)`.
- Separate multiple points with commas, like `(1, 2), (3, 4), (5, 0)`.
- Check "Connect Points" to draw lines between the points in order and calculate the perimeter and area.
Perimeter (Distance Formula):
$$ d = \sqrt{(x_2 - x_1)^2 + (y_2 - y_1)^2} $$Area (Shoelace Formula):
$$ A = \frac{1}{2} |(x_1y_2 + x_2y_3 + \dots) - (y_1x_2 + y_2x_3 + \dots)| $$
Disclaimer: This calculator is for educational purposes. The area calculation is accurate for non-self-intersecting (simple) polygons.
