Case study assignment based on coordinate
geometry
Case study 1:
CARTESIAN- PLANE
Using Cartesian Coordinates we mark a point on a graph by how
far along and how far up it is.
The left-right (horizontal) direction is commonly called X-axis.
The up-down (vertical) direction is commonly called Y-axis.
Based on these facts a case study is provided below. Read the
information and answer the questions that follow
A team of archaeologists is studying the ruins of Lignite, a small
mining town from the 1800's. They plot points on a coordinate
plane to show exactly where each artefact is found.
They are using this coordinate plane as a map of a section of the
town. It shows the location of a medicine bottle (M), a doorknob
(D), and a pottery jug (J).
1. How far apart are the doorknob and the medicine bottle?
a. 5 m
b. 25 m
c. 15 m
d. 3 m
2. How far apart are the medicine bottle and pottery jugs?
a. 20 m
b. 15 m
c. 25 m
d. 5 m
3. How far apart are the doorknob and the pottery jug?
a. 5.07 m
b. 3.07 m
c. 6.07 m
d. 7.07 m
