3/9 News and Notes • Perfection: None • Missing Quizzes: • 1st: Brian • 7th: Kaneisha, Niesha, Leslie • 8th: Desirae, Diego, Jasmine Z • HW Due Friday again. • Unit Test next Tuesday!
Today’s Goal • Use the Pythagorean Theorem to discover the Distance Formula
What’s the distance between the points (2,3) and (5,7)? • Step 1: Plot Points • Step 2: Create a right ∆ • What are the coordinates Of the 3rd point? (5, 3) • Step 3: What are the lengths of the legs? 3 and 4. C 4 3
Continued… • Step 4: Use Pythagorean Theorem 32 + 42 = c2 9 + 16 = c2 25 = c2 C = 5
Now the Distance Formula… • Start with Pythag. Thm: 32 + 42 = c2 Where do 3 and 4 come from? Where do these #s come from?
One Example…Write your answer really BIG on a sheet of paper, but don’t show it until Mr. C says so. • Use the method of your choice (Pythagorean Theorem or Distance Formula) to answer this question. • Point P has coordinates (1,3). Point Q has coordinates (7, 11). How long is segment PQ?
Missed it? Try this one before you jump to the Indep. Practice. • What’s the distance from the station to the fire?
Exit Ticket • What’s the distance between (2,4) and (4,6). Simplify your answer!
