To understand the definition of distance and memorize the formula. To memorize the Pythagorean Theorem and apply the formula to solving problems. To be able to construct a right triangle from two coordinates on a graph. To be able to find distance/length using the Pythagorean Theorem.
Also the same as finding the __________ between two points. Memorize the formula!!!
The distance between the points (1, 3) and (2, 5) is: =
What is the distance between the points A (4, 6) and B (-2, -2)? Choices: A. 10 B. 6 C. 8 D. 4
It is only used in a _________ triangle. a and b are __________, which make up the right angle. c is the longest side, which is called the ____________. It is always across from the right angle.
In this example, we are solving for the _______. In this example we are solving for the _______.
Is c a leg or a hypotenuse? Use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the values of c.
FIRST: Turn these two points into a right triangle. THEN: Find the difference in x values and the distance in y values. LASTLY: Use the Pythagorean Theorem to solve.
