Are you ready to Derive the distance formula.

learn? Find the distance between a pair of

points on the coordinate plane.

Appreciate how the distance

formula facilitates finding solutions
to real-life problems.
Along Aguinaldo Highway are the houses of four
Grade 10 students namely Jose, Emilio, Gabriella
and Antonio. Their teacher’s house is some
blocks away from Gabriella’s house as illustrated.

a. What is the distance between

Emilio’s house and Gabriella’s
house?

b. What is the distance between

their teacher’s house and
Gabriella’s house?
1. Use line segments to connect the
points representing the houses of Emilio
(E), their teacher (T), and Gabriella (G).
What kind of triangle is formed?

2. Give the coordinates of points E, T, and

G.

3. Using the coordinates, how do you

determine the horizontal distance from E
to G or G to E? How do you determine the
vertical distance from T to G or G to T?

4. Use the Pythagorean Theorem to find

the distance between the teacher’s house 5. What is the formula to find the distance
and Emilio’s house. between two points?
DISTANCE FORMULA
Example 1
What is the distance between their
teacher’s house and Emilio’s house?
Example 2

Find the distance between the points (3, 1) and (2, 4).

Example 3

How far is (2, -7) and (2, -1) with each other?
Example 4

Find the distance between the points (-3, -6) and (1, -2).

Example 4
Sharon hits a golf ball 12 feet above the hole and 3 feet to the left. Her first putt travelled
2 feet above the cup and 1 foot to the right. How far did the ball travel on her first putt?
Discovery Task:

Distance Formula
Final Task
 Assignment

Use the distance formula to solve the following.

1. What is the distance between the points M (3,-6) and P (-4, 1)?

2. Find the length of the line segment whose endpoints are (3,-12) and (-2, 8).

3. Nidora wants to go to a computer shop for her assignment. There are two shops that are at
coordinates A (4, 3) and B(-5,-2). Her sister Tinidora suggested that she should go to computer
shop A because it is nearer their house which is at (-1, 2). Is Tinidora correct? Justify your
answer.
