Problems. Problem 1: Find the distance between the points (2, 3) and (0, 6). Problem 2: Find the distance between point (-1, -3) and the midpoint of the line segment joining (2, 4) and (4, 6). Problem 3: Find x so that the distance between the points (-2, -3) and (-3, x) is equal to 5.
Learn the Distance Formula, the tool for calculating the distance between two points with the help of the Pythagorean Theorem. Test your knowledge of it by practicing it on a few problems.
Distance Between Two Points on a Number Line. Getting the distance between two points is finding out how far apart these points are. Let us look at the illustration below and find out how the points D and F are far apart from each other.
Here are ten (10) practice exercises about the distance formula. As you engage with these problems, my hope is that you gain a deeper understanding of how to apply the distance formula.
What problems can I solve with the distance formula? Given two points on the plane, you can find their distance. For example, let's find the distance between ( 1, 2) and ( 9, 8) : = ( x 2 − x 1) 2 + ( y 2 − y 1) 2 = ( 9 − 1) 2 + ( 8 − 2) 2 Plug in coordinates = 8 2 + 6 2 = 100 = 10.
We will discuss here how to find the distance between two points in a plane using the distance formula. As, we know the coordinates of two points in a plain fix the positions of the points in the plane and also the distance between them.
