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.
Problem 4: Determine the distance between points on the coordinate plane. Round your answer to two decimal places.
Distance problems are word problems that involve the distance an object will travel at a certain average rate for a given period of time. The formula for distance problems is: distance = rate × time or. d = r × t. Things to watch out for: Make sure that you change the units when necessary.
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.
In the problems on this page, we solved for distance and rate of travel, but you can also use the travel equation to solve for time. You can even use it to solve certain problems where you're trying to figure out the distance, rate, or time of two or more moving objects.
Rules. How to find the distance between two points? 1. Substitute the x- and y-coordinates into the distance formula. 2. Solve using order of operations. Example. Use the distance formula to find the distance between two points X (-7, 5) and Y (2, -6). Round the answer to the nearest tenth. Solution.
Distance and Displacement Definitions. The distance is a scalar quantity (magnitude) that describes the length of the total path covered by a moving object. The displacement is a vector quantity (magnitude and direction) that describes the difference between the final and initial positions of a moving object.
