Distance Between Two Points- FIII- Miss Luz

Author:Luz, Tamara Willis

Objective:

Students will explore distance between two points in a coordinate plane and learn how this relates to right triangles.

Activity 1: Click, drag, and drop the points to explore the distance between them.

Activity 2: Use the visual to...

Find the distance between each set of two points:

  1. (0,0) and (5,0)
  2. (0,0) and (0,5)
  3. (7,3) and (5,3)
  4. (-6,-4) and (-6,4)
Explain how you know.

Activity 3: Check your answer.

Activity 4: Click, drag, and drop the points to explore the distance between them.

Activity 5: Use the visual to...

Find the distance between (1,1) and (8,6).

  1. What is different this time?
  2. Can this exact distance be found? Why or why not?

Activity 6: Check your answer.

Attention: Did you notice the right triangle?

Attention: Did you notice the right triangle?

Activity 7: Wherever there is a diagonal distance, there is also a right triangle.

  • The longest side of the right triangle (called the hypotenuse) is the diagonal distance.
  • The two shorter sides of the right triangle (called the legs) make up the horizontal and vertical components of the diagonal distance.
