Solution

This task involves plotting and connecting points on a graph as part of constructing a geometric figure. Here's a step-by-step breakdown of how to approach the problem:

  1. Prepare the Graph Paper:

    • Ensure the origin (0,0)(0, 0) is at the center of the paper.
    • The x-axis (abscissa) should range from 14-14 to 1515.
    • The y-axis (ordinate) should range from 9-9 to 88.
  2. Step 1: Plot Points M1M_1 to M26M_{26}:

    • Plot all the coordinates provided, such as M1(1,1)M_1(-1, 1), M2(1,1)M_2(1, 1), M3(3,0)M_3(3, 0), etc.
    • Use a ruler to connect the points in sequence: M1M_1 to M2M_2, M2M_2 to M3M_3, and so on until M26M_{26}, and then connect M26M_{26} back to M1M_1.
  3. Step 2: Plot Points B1B_1, B2B_2, B3B_3:

    • Plot B1(12,1)B_1(12, 1), B2(13,3)B_2(13, 3), B3(13.5,1)B_3(13.5, 1).
    • Connect B1B_1 to B2B_2, B2B_2 to B3B_3, and B3B_3 back to B1B_1.
  4. Step 3: Plot Points A1A_1, A2A_2, A3A_3:

    • Plot A1(11,2)A_1(11, -2), A2(11,3)A_2(11, -3), A3(13.5,3.5)A_3(13.5, -3.5).
    • Connect A1A_1 to A2A_2, A2A_2 to A3A_3, and A3A_3 back to A1A_1.
  5. Step 4: Plot Points C1C_1 to C6C_6:

    • Plot C1(11,5)C_1(11, -5), C2(13,4)C_2(13, -4), C3(14.5,5)C_3(14.5, -5), C4(14,7)C_4(14, -7), C5(13,7)C_5(13, -7), C6(11,6)C_6(11, -6).
    • Connect the points sequentially as instructed.
  6. Step 5: Plot Points D1D_1 to D18D_{18}:

    • Plot all points from D1(7,9)D_1(-7, -9) to D18(4,3)D_{18}(-4, -3).
    • Connect the points sequentially to form the final figure, ensuring you connect D18D_{18} back to D1D_1.

Deliverable:

When completed, the graph will display a geometric figure made up of connected shapes. Use a ruler for precision and color code as necessary.

Would you like me to provide a digital representation of the figure or any further clarifications?


Five related questions:

  1. How do coordinates influence the orientation of shapes in a graph?
  2. Can you identify the geometric shapes formed by connecting these points?
  3. What methods can be used to check the accuracy of plotted points?
  4. Why is it important to follow the sequence when connecting points?
  5. How can this exercise link mathematics with geography?

Tip: Always label your points clearly on the graph to avoid confusion when connecting them.
