1.3 Distance & Midpoint I CAN FIND THE DISTANCE BETWEEN TWO POINTS AND THE MIDPOINT OF A SEGMENT.
Ex 1: How do you find the distance between two points? A. To help your team get started, what can you do to find the length of a horizontal or vertical segment? What is the length of AB? What is the length of BC? B. How do you find the length of a segment that has a slope? Draw in segment AC. What type of shape did you form? What strategy can your team use to find the length of AC?
What does the word midpoint mean?
Ex 2: With your study team find a way to find the midpoint of a line segment.
Ex 3: Find the distance and midpoint of EF. E is located at (-4, 1) and F(3, -1).
Ex 4: Use Algebra to find measures.
Learning Log In your Learning Log, explain what a midpoint is and the method you prefer for finding midpoints of a line segment when given the coordinates of its endpoints. Include any diagram or example that helps explain why this method works. Title this entry “Finding a Midpoint” and label it with today’s date.
