Find the length of segments To find the length of a segment, first find the difference of the coordinates of its endpoints. Then since distance is always positive, take the absolute value of the result. A B C −10 −5 0 5 10 Find the length of segments
Far From It • Look at the vertical segment AB on the coordinate plane. What is the ordered pair for point A? Point B? What is AB? • What do you notice about the x-coordinates for the endpoints of AB? Their y-coordinates? • Now find the length of EF. A E F B
Distance Formula In Algebra, you used the distance formula to find the distance between any two points on a coordinate plane. A C B Find the length of AB, BC, and AC.
