About Geometry Worksheet Assignment 9.2:                   

 

Assignment 9.2 is an introduction to the use of the Distance formula to find the distance between two points on the coordinate plane.

 

Prerequisite Skills:  Name the coordinates of points in the coordinate plane (Assignment 1.7).

 

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                   2                                            2

Theorem:  The formula for the distance (d) between two points: (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) is:   d =      (x2 - x1 )       +      ( y2 - y1)
