1. 1.3 Distance & Midpoint I CAN FIND THE DISTANCE BETWEEN TWO POINTS AND THE MIDPOINT OF A SEGMENT.

2. 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?

3. What does the word midpoint mean?

4. Ex 2: With your study team find a way to find the midpoint of a line segment.

5. Ex 3: Find the distance and midpoint of EF. E is located at (-4, 1) and F(3, -1).

6. Ex 4: Use Algebra to find measures.

7. 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.
