Problem 4: Determine the distance between points on the coordinate plane. Round your answer to two decimal places.
In coordinate geometry, the distance between two points A(x 1, y 1) and B(x 2, y 2) is given by \(\begin{array}{l}AB = \sqrt{(x_{2}-x_{1})^{2}+(y_{2}-y_{1})^{2}}\end{array} \) This formula is used to find the distance between two points in a two-dimensional plane.
Distance and Midpoint Word Problems 1. )On a map, Julie’s house is located at (−2,5 (and Jimmy’s house is at 6,−2). How long is the direct path from Julie’s house to Jimmy’s house? 2. The Riley and Brown families decided to go to a concert together. The Riley’s live 6 miles west and 3 miles north of the concert.
Find the distance between N and P by adding the absolute values of the y-coordinates of the points. Find the time it takes the truck to drive this distance by using this relationship : distance = rate · time.
Use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the straight-line distance from Gabriela’s house to the beach. Solution : Step 1 : Find the length of the horizontal leg. The length of the horizontal leg is the absolute value of the difference between the x-coordinates of the points (280, 20) and (10, 20). |280 - 10| = 270.
