This lesson starts with teaching basic directions and mapping techniques, then moves on to taking latitude and longitude coordinates and using global-positioning-system (GPS) units. Lesson Objectives and Materials
Find local businesses, view maps and get driving directions in Google Maps.
Walk through deriving a general formula for the distance between two points. The distance between the points ( x 1, y 1) and ( x 2, y 2) is given by the following formula: ( x 2 − x 1) 2 + ( y 2 − y 1) 2. In this article, we're going to derive this formula!
Two of the mazes give students pairs of coordinate points (one with negatives and one without) and askes them to find the distance between them. The third maze shows points on a graph and asks students to find the distance between those points.
Use this fun, real-life eighth-grade lesson plan to teach your students about the distance between two points by applying the Pythagorean Theorem.
When two or more lines cross or meet each other in a plane, the lines are called intersecting lines. Point of Intersection: Intersecting lines share a common point called the point of intersection. In the figure below, lines p and q intersect at point O. So, point O is the point of intersection.
Distance Between 2 Points. Quick Explanation. When we know the horizontal and vertical distances between two points we can calculate the straight line distance like this: distance = √ a2 + b2. Imagine you know the location of two points (A and B) like here. What is the distance between them?
