Distance in the Coordinate Plane

Front

What is the distance formula used to find the distance between two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) in the coordinate plane?

Back

Distance = √((x2 - x1)² + (y2 - y1)²)

Front

What is the distance between the points (5, 6) and (5, 8)?

Back

2 units

Front

What is the perimeter of a rectangle with length 5 units and width 3 units?

Back

16 units

Front

How do you find the length of a side of a rectangle given its coordinates?

Back

Use the distance formula between the two points that define the side.

Front

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

Back

The straight line connecting the two points.

Front

If a rectangle has vertices at (3, 2), (-2, 2), (-2, -1), and (3, -1), what is the length of the longest side?

Back

5 units

Front

What is the definition of a coordinate plane?

Back

A two-dimensional surface where points are defined by pairs of numbers (x, y).

Front

What does the x-coordinate represent in a coordinate pair?

Back

The horizontal position of a point on the coordinate plane.

Front

What does the y-coordinate represent in a coordinate pair?

Back

The vertical position of a point on the coordinate plane.

Front

How do you calculate the perimeter of a rectangle?

Back

Perimeter = 2(length + width)
