For lines that are vertical (x,y) or horizontal (x,y) the length is easy to find (-5, 9) R V ( -5, -7) All you have to do is subtract the y-coordinates to find my length M (-2, 3) E ( 7, 3) All you have to do to find me is subtract the x-coordinates

To find the length of a nonvertical or nonhorizontal the distance formula is to be used: A (-2,2) B (3,-3) x 1 and x 2 are the x-coordinates of A and B (it doesn’t matter which one is x 1 and which one is x 2 so it could be –2–3 or 3–(-2)) y 1 and y 2 are the y-coordinates of A and B (it doesn’t matter which one is y 1 and which one is y 2 so it could be 2–(-3) or (-3)–2)

Here are some helpful examples: M R (-3,9) (2,-2) Find the length of MRFind the length of CD C D (-3,-8) (1,8) (x 1 -x 2 ) + (y 1 -y 2 ) 22 (-3-2) + (9+2) 22 (-5) + (11) MR =146 (x 1 -x 2 ) + (y 1 -y 2 ) 22 (-3-1) + (-8-8) 22 (-4) + (-16) CD = 417

Now you try: G K (1,4) (4,0) 1.) Find GK L M 2.) Find LM (-2,1) (1,-4) N O (-1,2) (0,-3) 3.) Find NO X Y (-3,5) (4,-5) 4.) Find XY

Answers 1.) (4-1) + (4-0) GK = 5 2.) (1 + 2) + (1 + 4) 22 (3) + (5) LM = 3.) (0 + 1) + (2 + 3) NO = 4.) (4 + 3) + ( 5 + 5) XY =

Can You Do This? R A Y (-3,-7) (-3,11) (6,-7) Find the perimeter of triangle RAY

Answer First find RA and RY RA = 11–(-7) RY = 6-(-3) RA = 18 RY = 9 Now find AY using the distance formula (6 + 3) + (11 + 7) Now to find the perimeter add all the lengths together: The perimeter is:
