  1. You are making a start screen for your game. You want to put a "Play" button at the point (10, 5) on your screen map. If you move the button 3 units to the right and 2 units up, what are its new coordinates?

    SVG Diagram Needed: A 2D grid representing the screen map. Show the 'Play' button at initial coordinates (10, 5), then an arrow showing the movement 3 units right and 2 units up to the final position (13, 7). Label the axes X and Y.

    (Keywords: coordinates, grid, movement, translation)

  2. A picture for your game page is 4 units wide and 6 units tall. You want to make it 2 times bigger in both width and height. What are the new width and new height of the picture?

    SVG Diagram Needed: Show the original image with width 4 units and height 6 units. Then, show the scaled image with width 8 units and height 12 units. Label the dimensions.

    (Keywords: scaling, width, height, dimensions)

  3. A text box for your game rules is a rectangle. It is 8 units long and 5 units wide. What is the area of the text box in square units?

    SVG Diagram Needed: A rectangle representing the text box with length 8 units and width 5 units. Divide the rectangle into a grid of unit squares to visually demonstrate the area calculation. Label the sides with their lengths.

    (Keywords: area, rectangle, unit squares, grid)

  4. You have a space on your game page that is 20 units wide. You want to fit 4 small pictures of the same size side-by-side. There should be no gaps between them. How wide can each picture be?

    SVG Diagram Needed: A long rectangle representing the 20-unit wide space. Divide it into 4 equal sections, each representing one small picture. Label the total width as 20 and each small picture width as 5.

    (Keywords: division, equal parts, width, rectangle)

  5. You have a square button that is 3 units on each side.

    1. What is its area in square units?

      SVG Diagram Needed: A square representing the button with sides of 3 units. Divide the square into a grid of unit squares to visually represent the area calculation. Label the side length.

      (Keywords: area, square, unit squares, grid)

    2. If you make each side 2 times longer, what is the new side length? What is the new area of the button in square units?

      SVG Diagram Needed: Show the original square button with side length 3. Then, show the enlarged square button with side length 6. Label the side lengths.

      (Keywords: scaling, square, side length)

      SVG Diagram Needed: A square representing the enlarged button with sides of 6 units. Divide the square into a grid of unit squares to visually represent the area calculation. Label the side length.
