You found the slope of a line passing through two points on a coordinate plane. (Lesson 8–6) • Use the Distance Formula to find the distance between two points on a coordinate plane. • Apply the Distance Formula to solve problems about figures on the coordinate plane. Then/Now
Distance Formula The distance between two points, with coordinates (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) , is given by d = Vocabulary
Find the Distance Between Two Points Find the distance between M(8, 4) and N(–6, –2). Round to the nearest tenth, if necessary. Use the Distance Formula. Distance Formula (x1, y1) = (8, 4), (x2, y2) = (–6, –2) Simplify. Evaluate (–14)2 and (–6)2. Example 1
Find the Distance Between Two Points Add 196 and 36. Take the square root. Answer: The distance between points M and N is about 15.2 units. Example 1
A B C D Find the distance between A(–4, 5) and B(3, –9). Round to the nearest tenth, if necessary. A. 4.1 units B. 8.1 units C. 14.0 units D. 15.7 units Example 1
Use the Distance Formula SOCCERJavy kicks a ball from a position that is 2 yards behind the goal line and 4 yards from the sideline (–2, 4). The ball lands 8 yards past the goal line and 2 yards from the same sideline (8, 2). What distance, to the nearest tenth, was the ball kicked? Example 2
Distance Formula (x1, y1) = (–2, 4) (x2, y2) = (8, 2) Use the Distance Formula Understand You know the coordinates of the two locations and that each unit represents 1 yard. You need to find the distance between the two points. Plan Use the Distance Formula to find the distance the ball was kicked. Solve Example 2
Simplify. Evaluate powers. Simplify. Use the Distance Formula d ≈ 10.2 Answer: Javy kicked the ball 10.2 yards CheckThe distance is slightly greater than 10 yards, so the answer is reasonable. Example 2
A B C D MAPSThe map of a college campus shows Gilmer Hall at (7, 3) and Watson House dormitory at (5, 4). If each unit on the map represents 0.1 mile, what is the distance between these buildings? A. 0.2 mi B. 0.5 mi C. 2.2 mi D. 5 mi Example 2
Find the Perimeter GEOMETRY Classify ΔXYZ by its sides. Then find its perimeter to the nearest tenth. Step 1 Use the Distance Formula to find the length of each side of the triangle. Example 3
Side XY: X(–5, 1), Y(–2, 4) Find the Perimeter Distance Formula (x1, y1) = (–5, 1), (x2, y2) = (–2, 4) Simplify. Evaluate powers. Simplify. Example 3
Side YZ: Y(–2, 4), Z(–3, –3) Find the Perimeter Distance Formula (x1, y1) = (–2, 4), (x2, y2) = (–3, –3) Simplify. Evaluate powers. Simplify. Example 3
Side ZX: Z(–3, –3), X(–5, 1) Find the Perimeter Distance Formula (x1, y1) = (–3, –3), (x2, y2) = (–5, 1) Simplify. Evaluate powers. Simplify. Example 3
Find the Perimeter None of the sides are congruent. So, ΔXYZ is scalene. Step 2 Add the lengths of the sides to find the perimeter. Answer: The triangle is scalene. The perimeter is about 15.8 units. Example 3
