    THE DISTANCE FORMULA

    The distance between two points and can be computed


    using the formula

    √ 𝟐
    𝒅 = ( 𝒙𝟐 − 𝒙 𝟏 ) + ( 𝒚 𝟐 − 𝒚 𝟏 )
    𝟐
    Example 1.
    How far is point from point ?
    let (3, 2)
    let (10, 7)

    √ 2
    𝑑= ( 𝑥 2 − 𝑥1 ) + ( 𝑦 2 − 𝑦 1 )
    2

    𝑑= √ ( 10− 3 ) + ( 7 − 2 )
    2 2

    𝑑= √ ( 7 ) + ( 5 )
    2 2

    𝑑= √ 74
    𝑑=8.6 𝑢𝑛𝑖𝑡𝑠
    Example 2.
    Find the distance between two points and
    let ()
    let

    √ 2 2
    𝑑= ( 𝑥 2 − 𝑥1 ) + ( 𝑦 2 − 𝑦 1 )
    𝑑= √ ( 12−(−3) ) + ( 4 −5 )
    2 2

    𝑑= √ ( 15 ) + ( −1 )
    2 2

    𝑑= √ 226
    𝑑=15.03 𝑢𝑛𝑖𝑡𝑠
    Practice Exercises:
    Find the distance between the given points below.
    1. 𝑑= √ 61=7.81 𝑢𝑛𝑖𝑡𝑠
    2. 𝑑= √ 373=19.31𝑢𝑛𝑖𝑡𝑠
    3. 𝑑= √ 314=17.72 𝑢𝑛𝑖𝑡𝑠
    4. How far is the point from the origin?
    𝑑= √ 164=12.81𝑢𝑛𝑖𝑡𝑠
    THE MIDPOINT FORMULA
    The midpoint between two points and can be computed
    using the formula

    𝑴= (
    𝒙𝟏 + 𝒙 𝟐 𝒚 𝟏 + 𝒚 𝟐
    𝟐
    ,
    𝟐 )
    Example 1.
    What is the midpoint of line segment ?
    let
    let

    𝑀=
    2 (
    𝑥 1+ 𝑥 2 𝑦 1+ 𝑦 2
    ,

    − 4 +10 7+3
    ,
    2 )
    𝑀 =( 3 , 5 )
    Practice Exercises:
    Find the midpoints between the given points below.
    1. 𝑀 ( 11 , 4 )
    2. 𝑀 ( 2 , 7.5 )
    3. 𝑀 ( − 4.5 , −2.5 )

    3. Show that the figure formed when the points are connected consecutively is an isosceles
    right triangle and find its area and perimeter.
    4. A new transmission tower will be put up midway between two existing towers. On a map
    drawn on a coordinate plane, the coordinates of the first existing tower are (–5, –3) and the
    coordinates of the second existing tower are (9,13). What are the coordinates of the point
    where the new tower will be placed?

    5. Peter and his father stood on their newly-bought rectangular lot whose length and width
    are 80 and 50 meters, respectively. His father told him that the place they are standing at is
    one of the four boundary points of their lot. He then told Peter that they are going to put a
    marker on each of the four boundary points. Help Peter to locate the coordinates of the 3
    boundary points using the Cartesian coordinate plane if the coordinates of their location is at
    . (Let 1 unit = 1 meter)
    6. The endpoints of a diameter of a circle are L(–3, –2) and G(9, –6). What is the length of
    the radius of the circle?
    7. Plot the points on the coordinate plane. Then connect the consecutive points by a line
    segment to form a figure. What figure is formed?
    8. Diana, Jolina, and Patricia live in three different places. The location of their houses are
