Distance between two points. y Using Pythagoras’ Theorem, B(18,17) AB2 = (18 - 5)2 + (17 - 3)2 17 AB2 = 132 + 142 17 – 3 = 14 units 3 A(5,3) 18 – 5 = 13 units x 5 18

Distance between two points. In general, y B(x2,y2) AB2 = (x2-x1)2 + (y2-y1)2 y2 Hence, the formula for Length of AB or Distance between A and B is Length = y2 – y1 y1 A(x1,y1) Length = x2 – x1 x x1 x2

Given 3 points A,B and C, distance formula is used to check whether the points are collinear.If not we may check for an isosceles, equilateral or right angled triangle. Perform the check on the following sets of points : (1,5), (2,3), (-2, -11) (1,-1),(-½, ½),(1,2) (a,a),(-a,-a), (-a ,a ) (12,8),(-2,6),(6,0) (2,5),(-1,2),(4,7)

Distance Formula can be used to check for special quadrilaterals !! Given 4 points A,B,C,D If AB=CD, AD = BC,it is a PARALLELOGRAM. (Opposite sides are equal) If AB = CD, AD = BC, AC = BD ,it is a RECTANGLE.(Diagonals are also equal) If AB=BC=CD=DA, it is a RHOMBUS.(All sides are equal) If AB=BC=CD=DA and AC=BD, it is a SQUARE.
