5 Problems - SHOW ALL WORK!
Plot the points:
A: (1,-3) B: (7,5) C: (-2,-1) D: (-8,5)
Draw a line connecting points A and B and then points C and D. Estimate the distance between the two points.
AB ______ CD _______
Connect the points using a horizontal and vertical line to create a right triangle with legs that represent the horizontal and vertical distance between the points.
Use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the length of AB and CD in problem 1.
Use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the missing lengths.
Find the length of the line.
In your own words, how can the Pythagorean Theorem be used to find the distance between two points on the coordinate plane?
