TEACHER’S ACTIVITY STUDENT’S ACTIVITY

A. Preparatory Activities
1. Prayer
Before we begin, let us all stand and open our hearts to In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of
the Lord. the Holy Spirit, Amen.

Jheremy, kindly lead us the opening prayer. Dear Father, Thank you for our teachers, our
school and our families. As we gather together
this morning, we invite Your Holy Spirit to
inspire us, guide us and teach us in everything
that we do today. We give you our anxious
thoughts and receive your peace. Thank you that
you promise to be with us always. Amen.
Thank you, Jheremy.

2. Greetings
Good morning, class. Good morning, sir!
Before you take your sit, please pick up the pieces of
paper under your chairs.

3. Checking of Attendance
Dale, is there any absent this day? None sir.

B. Presentation of the Lesson

1. Review
What did we discuss last meeting?
Yes, Aliah.
Sir, last meeting we discus about distance
between two points, wherein the distance
between two points is the length of the line
segment that connects the two points in a plane.
Excellent, Aliah.

What is the general rule / formula in getting the distance

between the points?
Yes, Reunley Daine. Sir, to determine the distance between those
points, we can determine by using the distance
formula d = √(𝑥2 − 𝑥1 )2 + (𝑦2 − 𝑦1 )2 or
Precisely, Reunley Daine. PQ = √(𝑥2 − 𝑥1 )2 + (𝑦2 − 𝑦1 )2

C. Discussion
1. Activity

What did you observe in the given picture?

Yes, Banjo. Sir, what I noticed in the given picture is that that
is pathway of a plane from the one place to
another place.
Very good, Banjo.

2. Analysis
How useful distance formula in real life?
Yes, Azyleah. Sir, the distance formula is very useful when
finding the distance between towns on a map.
Very good, Azyleah.

Did you also try to use a Waze or Google map? Yes, sir.

What did you observed if you are want to find the town
that are not familiar to you?
Yes, Jin. Sir, if we search the town that we want to visit,
the Waze or Google map will calculate, how far
you are in the town that you want to visit.
Exactly, Jin.

By using the different application, they will calculate the

coordinates of each town.

Let’s have for instance, what is the distance between

Cauayan City National High School to Our Lady of the
Pillar College – Cauayan?

To find the distance of these two towns we need to

substitute the coordinate point to the given formula.

Did you understand class? Yes, sir.

Especially, on how to relate distance in real life

situation? Yes, sir.

3. Abstraction
The distance formula has many applications in real life.
In particular, it can be used to find the distance between
two objects or places.

Using the distance formula in proving geometric

properties.

Many geometric properties can be proven by using a

coordinate plane a proof that uses figures on a coordinate
plane to prove geometric properties is called a
coordinate proof.

4. Application
Example 1:

The SM City of Cauayan is located at the point (-6, 4)

and the School of Cauayan City National High School is
located at the point (7, 10), let us denote that every unit
is equivalent to 15 meters. What is the distance between
SM and the school?

Solution:
Let 𝑥1 = −6 , 𝑦1 = 4 , 𝑥2 = 7 , and 𝑦2 = 10. Then
substitute these values into the distance formula
d = √(𝑥2 − 𝑥1 )2 + (𝑦2 − 𝑦1 )2 .
d = √(𝑥2 − 𝑥1 )2 + (𝑦2 − 𝑦1 )2
d = √(7 − (−6))2 + (10 − 4)2
d = √(13)2 + (6)2
d = √169 + 36
d = √205
d = √205 units or d ≈ 14.32 units

Since 1 unit on the coordinate plane is equivalent to 15

meters, multiply the obtained value of d by 15 to get the
distance between SM City of Cauayan and Cauayan City
national High School.

(14.32) (15) = 214.8

The distance between SM City of Cauayan town and

Cauayan City National High School is approximately
214.8 m.

Did you understand class?

Yes, sir.
Example 2:

SM (-5, 4)
KFC (-2, 6)
Tuna Republika (-2, 0)
Gaisano Mall (5, 4)
DBP (3, -2)
BDO (-7, -2)
PLDT (-1, -5)
In the given second picture, give the coordinates of the
point of the different town.

1. Connect the SM Mall to Gaisano Mall and find

the distance between the two towns.
Solution:
Let 𝑥1 = −5 , 𝑦1 = 4 , 𝑥2 = 5 , and 𝑦2 = 4. Then
substitute these values into the distance formula
d = √(𝑥2 − 𝑥1 )2 + (𝑦2 − 𝑦1 )2 .
d = √(𝑥2 − 𝑥1 )2 + (𝑦2 − 𝑦1 )2
d = √(5 − (−5))2 + (4 − 4)2
d = √(10)2
d = √100

Did you understand class? Yes, sir.

2. Connect the two points from Gaisano Mall to

DBP, what is the distance between them?
Solution:
Let 𝑥1 = 5 , 𝑦1 = 4 , 𝑥2 = 3 , and 𝑦2 = −2. Then
substitute these values into the distance formula
d = √(𝑥2 − 𝑥1 )2 + (𝑦2 − 𝑦1 )2 .
d = √(𝑥2 − 𝑥1 )2 + (𝑦2 − 𝑦1 )2
d = √(3 − 5)2 + (−2 − 4)2
d = √(−2)2 + (−6)2
d = √4 + 36
d = √40
d = 2√10

Is it clear class? Yes, sir.

3. Calculate the distance between DBP and BDO.

Kindly do it on the board, Matt. Solution:
Let 𝑥1 = 3 , 𝑦1 = −2 , 𝑥2 = −7 , and 𝑦2 =
−2. Then substitute these values into the
distance formula
d = √(𝑥2 − 𝑥1 )2 + (𝑦2 − 𝑦1 )2 .
d = √(𝑥2 − 𝑥1 )2 + (𝑦2 − 𝑦1 )2
d = √(−7 − 3)2 + (−2 − (−2))2
d = √(−10)2
d = √100
Excellent, Matt.

4. What is the distance between BDO and SM

Mall?
Kindly do it also on the board, Reunley Daine.
 Solution:

Let 𝑥1 = −7 , 𝑦1 = −2 , 𝑥2 = −5 , and 𝑦2 =
4. Then substitute these values into the distance
formula
d = √(𝑥2 − 𝑥1 )2 + (𝑦2 − 𝑦1 )2 .
d = √(𝑥2 − 𝑥1 )2 + (𝑦2 − 𝑦1 )2
d = √(−5 − (−7))2 + (4 − (−2))2
d = √(2)2 + (6)2
d = √4 + 36
d = √40
Very good, Reunley Daine.
d = 2√10
What geometric figure is formed?
Yes, Christian.
Parallelogram sir.

Very good, Christian.

How did you know that the formed geometric figure is

parallelogram?
Yes, Mickaella.
Sir, because the distance between SM Mall and
BDO is equal to the distance between Gaisano
Mall and DBP which is congruent and also the
distance between SM Mall and Gaisano Mall is
equal to the distance between BDO and DBP
which is also congruent.
Excellent, Mickaella.

Did you understand class? Yes, sir.

Any question or clarification class, regarding our

lesson this morning? None, sir.
