Unfortunately, this counting approach does NOT work for EF which is a diagonal segment. Method One Whenever the segments are horizontal or vertical, the length can be obtained by counting. When we need to find the length (distance) of a segment such as AB, we simply COUNT the distance from point A to point B.(AB= ___) We can use this same counting approach for CD .(CD= ___) 7 3 Geometry
STEPS • Plot Points • Draw vertical , then horizontal distances between points, Create a triangle • Count the units on each side & label • Use Pythagorean Theorem to solve for missing side= DISTANCE BETWEEN TWO POINTS.
Finding Distance What is the distance between the two points on the right? (6,8) (0,0) Geometry
Ticket out the Door • What is the length of the hypotenuse for the following triangle in the coordinate plane? Geometry
