Question 1.
What is the format for entering absolute coordinates?
Show hintHide hint
Think of how you would plot points on a grid.
Question 2.
How do you denote relative coordinates?
Show hintHide hint
Remember the '@' symbol indicates 'from last point'.
3Question 3.
What format do absolute coordinates use?
- X,Y
- @X,Y
- @distance<angle
Show hintHide hint
Think of how points are plotted on a grid.
4Question 4.
True or False: Relative coordinates always start from the origin.
- True
- False
Show hintHide hint
Check what 'relative' entails.
Question 5.
A drawing starts at (0,0). If you move 10 units left and 5 up using relative coordinates, what are your new coordinates?
Show hintHide hint
Keep track of the direction and apply it to the last point.
Question 6.
Using polar coordinates, if the first point is at (3,4) and you want to place another point 7 units at a 135-degree angle, calculate the final coordinates.
Show hintHide hint
Convert polar to rectangular coordinates for your calculation.
