B. Main Activity
1. The whole class will be grouped into 4, each group will receive the materials provided.
2. They have to find the length of each of the following segments from the materials provided.
3. After finding the length from column B, they can now arrange the letters to form the “mystery
word” F O R M U L A.

ANALYSIS
Based on our activities done, answer the following questions.
1. What can you say about the activities?
2. How did you come up with your answer?
3. What is the mystery word?
4. What do you think is our lesson for today?
5. Any idea about the distance formula?

ABSTRACTION
Distance is a space between two places or things.
It has starting point and endpoint.
Distance Formula is an equation that can be used to find the distance between any pair of points
on the coordinate plane. It is written in the form √ ¿ ¿

Example: Find the distance between P(1,3) and Q(7,11)

To find the distance between P and Q, the following procedures can be followed.

1. Let ( x 1 , y 1 ¿ = (1, 3) and ( x 2 , y 2 ¿ = (7, 11)

2. Substitute the corresponding values of x 1 , y 1, x 2 ,∧ y 2 in the distance formula.

PQ=√ ¿ ¿

3. Solve the resulting equation

PQ=√ ¿ ¿
= √¿ ¿
 = √ 36+64
=√ 100
= 10
Therefore the distance between P and Q is 10 units.

Again, what is the definition of distance formula?

How about its formula?

Application
Find the distance of the following points.
1. M (1, 3) and I (4, 8)
2. C (5, 8) and H (-9, 14)
3. E (-8, 10) and L (-12, 16)

Evaluation

2. P(3,-7) and Q(3, 8)
3. C(-4,3) and B(14, 8)
4. A(2,3) and Y(2, 5)
5. X(-3,9) and Y(2, 5)

Assignment
Find the distance between each pair of points on the coordinate plane.
1. C(-3,2) and D(9,7)
2. S(-4,-2) and T(1,7)
3. K(3,-3) and L(-3,7)
4. E(7,10) and F(-6,5)
5. R(4,7) and S(-6,-1)

2. I (-2, 4)
3. D (0, 0)
4. P (6, 2)

3. How did you come up with your answer?
4. Any idea about the midpoint formula?

ABSTRACTION
Midpoint- is a point on a line segment and divides the segments into two equal parts.
The Midpoint Formula is a formula that can be used to find the coordinates of the midpoint of a
x1 + x 2 y1 + y 2
line segment on the coordinate plane. The midpoint of P(x 1 , y 1 ) and P( x 2 , y 2) is ( , )
2 2

Example 1.
The coordinates of the endpoints ḾI are (−3 , 3 )∧(5 , 3) . What are the coordinates of its
midpoint M?
To get the midpoint of the given coordinates, we need to substitute the given coordinates to the
formula.
x1+ x2 y1+ y2
M =( , )
