Distance Formula: Content Standards

This lesson plan teaches students how to use the distance formula to calculate the distance between two points. It begins with an introduction and objectives. Then it reviews calculating distance when points are vertically, horizontally, or diagonally aligned using examples. Students practice with sample problems and an activity about the Mars rover Curiosity's travel distance. The teacher generalizes the key concepts and has students apply the distance formula to new point pairs. The plan evaluates students and assigns additional work.

A SEMI-DETAILED LESSON PLAN:


Distance Formula

Content Standards:
The learner demonstrates understanding of key concepts of circles and coordinate geometry.

Performance Standards:
The learners is able to formulate and solve problems involving geometric figures on the rectangular
coordinate plane with perseverance and accuracy.

Competency:
The learner applies the distance formula to prove some geometric properties.
Code: M10GE-IIg-2

I. LEARNING OBJECTIVES

After the class discussion and activities, the learners will be able to:
1. derive the distance between two points aligned vertically, horizontally and diagonally;
2. use the distance formula in finding the distance between two points; and
3. show active participation in doing the drills and individual task.

II. SUBJECT MATTER

A. Topic : Distance Formula


B. Subtopic : Find the distance between two points using Distance Formula
C. Strategies : Deductive Method, Integrative Learning, Individualized Activities,
Group Activity, Differentiated instruction
D. Materials : Powerpoint presentation, Smartphone, Ring Light
E. Reference : Mathematics Learner's Module - Grade 10

III. DEVELOPMENT OF THE LESSON

A. Routines
1. Greetings
2. Checking of Attendance
3. Checking of School Uniform

B. Review
A 5 -question drill will be provided by the teacher. Questions will be flashed in the presentation
slide and the learners should answer the questions instantly.
1. How far is the sun to the cloud?
2. How far is the cloud to the star?
3. How far is the moon to the lightning?
4. How far is the star to the heart?
5. How far is the lightning to the heart?

C. Motivation
Motivation: ACTIVITY # 1:" How far Curiosity go?"
The learners will have the activity flashed and presented by the teacher. The teacher will show the
path taken by Curiosity, the first rover successfuly landed on Mars. The learners' task is to
determine the distance covered by Curiosity from the drop off point (origin) to its current position.

D. Lesson Proper

1. Point aligned Vertically - x – coordinates are the same.


Example: 𝑷 (𝟑, 𝟗) & 𝑸(𝟑, 𝟐)
Find the distance between P and Q
Let d be the distance
Formula: d = |𝒚𝟐 − 𝒚𝟏 |
d = | 𝟐 − 𝟗|
d = |−𝟕|
d = 𝟕 𝒖𝒏𝒊𝒕𝒔
2. Point aligned Horizontally - y – coordinates are the same.
Example: 𝑴 (−𝟐, 𝟑) & 𝑵(𝟒, 𝟑)
Find the distance between M and N
Let d be the distance
Formula: d = |𝒙𝟐 − 𝒙𝟏 |
d = |𝟒 − (−𝟐)|
d = 𝟔 𝒖𝒏𝒊𝒕𝒔
3. Point aligned Diagonally - x and y – coordinates are NOT the same.
Use the Distance Formula

The teacher will review the Pythagorean theorem and the distance formula and their relationship.
In finding the distance between two points in the Cartesian plane, we apply the concept of
Pythagorean Theorem. We need to subtract the two numbers (in each endpoint) to get its distance
from one another, but since there are two pairs of two numbers (ordered pairs: (x1, y1) and (x2, y2))
there must be two differences then later we will get their sum. Following the Pythagorean theorem,
we will get the square root of the sum of the square of the differences.

𝒄 = √𝒂𝟐 + 𝒃𝟐 =====➔ 𝒄 = √(𝒙𝟐 −𝒙𝟏 )𝟐 + (𝒚𝟐 −𝒚𝟏 )𝟐

Let d be the distance between two points, then c = d

𝒅 = √(𝒙𝟐 −𝒙𝟏 )𝟐 + (𝒚𝟐 −𝒚𝟏 )𝟐

Given: 𝑩(𝟏, 𝟖) & 𝑪(𝟔, 𝟑)


Let d be the distance,
Using the Distance Formula
𝒅 = √(𝒙𝟐 − 𝒙𝟏 )𝟐 + (𝒚𝟐 − 𝒚𝟏 )𝟐
𝒅 = √(𝟔 − 𝟏)𝟐 + (𝟑 − 𝟖)𝟐
𝒅 = √(𝟓)𝟐 + (−𝟓)𝟐
𝒅 = √𝟐𝟓 + 𝟐𝟓
𝒅 = √𝟓𝟎 units
𝒅 = √𝟐𝟓(𝟐) units
𝒅 = 𝟓√𝟐 units

How far is the current position of Curiosity to its original drop off point?

Computed distance:
d = 28 ft + 20 ft + 22 ft + 22√2ft
(0,0) to (0,-14) d = 28 ft
(0,-14) to (10,-14) d = 20 ft d = (70 + 22√2)ft
(10,-14) to (10,-3) d = 22 ft 2(35 + 11√2)ft is the total distance
(10,-3) to (21,-14) d = 22√2ft travel by Curiosity Rover

E. Generalization
The teacher will ask the following questions to the students:
1. How to find the distance given the coordinates of the two points aligned vertically?
2. How to find the distance given the coordinates of the two points aligned horizontally?
3. How to find the distance given the coordinates of the two points aligned diagonally?
4. How will you describe the distance of two given points?

F. Application

Activity # 2: How far you are to me?

Direction: Determine the distance of the following pair of points.


1. D(2, -3) and P(10, -3)
2. R(-3, 9) and P(2, 5)
3. E(7, 1) and F(-6, 5)
