Distance measures how far apart two things are. The distance between two points can be measured in any number of dimensions, and is defined as the length of the line connecting the two points. Distance is always a positive number. 1-Dimension (line segment) Distance - In one dimension, the distance between two points is determined simply by
Distance, Midpoint, and Slope Formulas. Find the distance between each pair of points. 1) (0, -8), (-6, 0) 3) (4, 3), (-3, 6) 5) (-1, -6), (3, 7) 7) y.
1) Distances can be introduced more abstractly: take any nonnegative function d(P,Q) which satisfies the triangle inequality d(P,Q) + d(Q,R) ≥ d(P,R) and d(P,Q) = 0 if and only if P = Q.
Distance Formula and Pythagorean Theorem Example: The distance between (3, 4) and (x, 7) is 5 units. Find x. Using the distance formula: (3 —x)2 + (4—7) x) 3 Solving Graphically (Pythagorean Theorem) Example: b b 3 -5 4 or -4 The length of segment AB is 20. If the coordinate of Ais (5, 1), and the coordinate of B is (-6, y), what is b?

The Distance and Midpoint Formulas Learning Objectives: 1. Use the Distance Formula 2. Use the Midpoint Formula Examples: 1. Find the distance between the points (-3,7) and (4,10). 2. Determine whether the triangle formed by points A=(-2,2), B=(2,-1), and C=(5,4) is a right triangle. 3.
The zero 0 divides the positive axis from the negative axis. A point P in the plane R2 is determined by two coordinates. We write P = (x; y). In space R3 nally, we require three coordinates P = (x; y; z), where z usually is thought of as height, the distance from the xy-plane.
