Treasure Map - Coordinate Distance

Front

What is the distance between two points on a coordinate plane?

Back

The distance can be calculated using the distance formula: d = √((x2 - x1)² + (y2 - y1)²).

Front

What does the term 'quadrant' refer to in a coordinate plane?

Back

A quadrant is one of the four sections of the coordinate plane, divided by the x-axis and y-axis.

Front

What are the coordinates of a point in quadrant I?

Back

Coordinates in quadrant I are positive, such as (3, 2).

Front

What are the coordinates of a point in quadrant II?

Back

Coordinates in quadrant II have a negative x-value and a positive y-value, such as (-3, 2).

Front

What are the coordinates of a point in quadrant III?

Back

Coordinates in quadrant III are both negative, such as (-3, -2).

Front

What are the coordinates of a point in quadrant IV?

Back

Coordinates in quadrant IV have a positive x-value and a negative y-value, such as (3, -2).

Front

How do you find the distance between two points with the same x-coordinate?

Back

The distance is the absolute difference of their y-coordinates: d = |y2 - y1|.

Front

How do you find the distance between two points with the same y-coordinate?

Back

The distance is the absolute difference of their x-coordinates: d = |x2 - x1|.

Front

What is the distance between the palm tree in quadrant III and the mountains if it is 9 miles?

Back

The distance is 9 miles.

Front

If a treasure is located 3 miles from the mountains, what could be a possible coordinate?

Back

Possible coordinates could be (3, 2) or (0, -1), but not (3, 4).
