Example Question #31 : How To Find The Length Of A Line With Distance Formula
FInd the length of the line connecting the following two points. Simplify your answer.
and
To solve this problem we need to remember the distance formula for points on a coordinate plane:
In this case, and
Example Question #32 : How To Find The Length Of A Line With Distance Formula
A line passes through the points and . What is the distance between these two points?
The question is merely asking the distance between two points. This kind of problem can be quickly solved for by using the distance formula:
, where is distance and , , , and come from the given points.
This problem merely needs to have the and values substituted in for so we can solve for .
Arbitrarily assigning and , we substitute in our values as follows:
Example Question #33 : How To Find The Length Of A Line With Distance Formula
A line passes through and . What's the distance between these two points?
The question is merely asking the distance between two points. This kind of problem can be quickly solved for by using the distance formula:
, where is distance and , , , and come from the given points.
This problem merely needs to have the and values substituted in for so we can solve for .
Arbitrarily assigning and , we substitute in our values as follows:
Example Question #34 : How To Find The Length Of A Line With Distance Formula
What is the distance between the following points?
What is the distance between the following points?
To find distance, use distance formula:
Note, if you cannot recall distance formula think of Pythagorean theorem. When using distance formula, you are simply finding the length of the hypotenuse of a right triangle.
Anyway, start plugging in our points and simplify to the answer. We'll call our first point 1 and our second point 2
So our answer is 52.3
Example Question #35 : How To Find The Length Of A Line With Distance Formula
What is the length of the distance between the points and ?
What is the length of the distance between the points and ?
Find distance with distance formula, which is quite similar to Pythagorean Theorem
Now, let's call point 1 and point 2, then let's plug in and find d!
So the distance is 15
Example Question #36 : How To Find The Length Of A Line With Distance Formula
Find the distance between the following points:
Find the distance between the following points:
To find the distance between two points, use distance formula.
Distance formula is closely related to Pythagorean theorem. Pythagorean Theorem is:
Which can be rewritten as:
Now, in distance formula, we are essentially finding the hypotenuse of a right triangle.
Anyway, to find the distance, we simply need to plug in the points we are given and simplify:
Continue
So our hypotenuse (distance) is 30.
If you are really observant, you can see that the other two sides of the triangles are 24 and 18.
Example Question #37 : How To Find The Length Of A Line With Distance Formula
A line is connected by the points and . What is the distance of this line?
Write the distance formula.
Substitute the values of the points inside the equation.
Simplify by order of operations.
The length of the line is .
Example Question #31 : How To Find The Length Of A Line With Distance Formula
Find the distance between these two points using the distance formula:
and
To find the distance between two points using the distance formula, we use the following formula:
where and are the given points. So, we can substitute the points and .
Therefore, the distance is .
Example Question #41 : Points And Distance Formula
Find the length of the line with endpoints (-7, 2) and (5, 9) using the distance formula.
To solve, we will use the distance formula:
where and are the given points. Given the points
and
we can substitute into the formula. We get,
Therefore, the length of the line with the endpoints (-7, 2) and (5, 9) is .
Example Question #42 : How To Find The Length Of A Line With Distance Formula
Given the following two points:
Calculate the distance between the two points using the distance formula. Round your answer to one decimal place.
The distance formula equation is as follows:
Note that simply refer to the 'first and ' and 'second and ' points, these are simply for keeping track and do not require any further computation.
The and coordinates given can be plugged in to solve for the distance between these two points.
