1-3 Reading to Learn Mathematics


Distance and Midpoints
Pre-Activity How can you find the distance between two points without a ruler?
Read the introduction to Lesson 1-3 at the top of page 21 in your textbook.
• Look at the triangle in the introduction to this lesson. What is the special
B
name for A  in this triangle?
• Find AB in this figure. Write your answer both as a radical and as a
decimal number rounded to the nearest tenth.

Reading the Lesson


1. Match each formula or expression in the first column with one of the names in the
second column.
a. d  
(x2  
x1)2 
( y2 
y1)2 i. Pythagorean Theorem
ab
b.  ii. Distance Formula in the Coordinate Plane
2
c. XY  | a  b | iii. Midpoint of a Segment in the Coordinate Plane

d. c2  a2  b2 iv. Distance Formula on a Number Line


x x y y

2  v. Midpoint of a Segment on a Number Line

2. Fill in the steps to calculate the distance between the points M(4, 3) and N(2, 7).
Let (x1, y1)  (4, 3). Then (x2, y2)  ( , ).



Lesson 1-3

MN  
Find a decimal approximation for MN to the nearest hundredth.

Helping You Remember


3. A good way to remember a new formula in mathematics is to relate it to one you already
know. If you forget the Distance Formula, how can you use the Pythagorean Theorem to
find the distance d between two points on a coordinate plane?
