Geometry A
Coordinate Geometry: Distance and Midpoint Formulas

Distance Formula

Slope Formula

Midpoint Formula

When developing a coordinate geometry proof:

1. Draw and label the graph.
2. State the formulas you will be using.
3. Show ALL work.
4. Have a concluding sentence stating
what you have proven and why it is true.

1. Given:
Prove:

is isosceles

2.
Prove: is isosceles

3. Given: Right ABC with vertices

A (3, 2), B (3, 1), and C (1, 5).
Prove: Prove that the midpoint of the hypotenuse
of ABC is equidistant form the three vertices.

4. Given: Parallelogram ABCD with vertices

A (0, 4), B (7, 1), C (9, 5), and D (2, 8).
Prove: The sum of the squares of the sides of
p-gram ABCD is equal to the sum of the squares
of the diagonals.
