Google Earth Community: Geometry Lesson

Here is a Geometry Lesson I am developing.

It has placemarks for 3 rectangles, 3 triangles, 3 circles, and 5 polygons.

I'll type out the answers to the questions for each placemark below. All of the measurements are approximate though, and some have been slightly rounded so that the numbers are easier to work with.

I would have students draw out a diagram and label it of each shape as well.

I hope I got all my measurements right here. I rushed through it. Any comments, corrections, or suggestions are always welcome.
