In this lesson, we will learn how to find the distance between two points on the coordinate plane using the Pythagorean theorem.
Students will be able to
Q1:
Find the distance between the point (−2,4) and the point of origin.
Q2:
Find the distance between the points 𝐴 and 𝐵.
Q3:
Consider the two points 𝐴(𝑥,𝑦) and 𝐵(𝑥,𝑦).
Using the Pythagorean theorem, find an expression for the length of 𝐴𝐵.
Using the distance formula, find the distance between the points (3,4) and (5,6). Give your answer as a surd in its simplest form.
