The Distance
Formula
Lesson Objectives:
At the end of the lesson, YOU should be able to:
• State clearly the “Distance Formula”
• Recognize the relationship that exist between
“Pythagorean Theorem” and “Distance Formula”,
and
• Use the Distance Formula in Solving the length of a
given segment.
Activity
Number 1:
How Long is this
Part?
Use the number line below to find the length of
each of the following segments and then answer
the following questions that follows?
-10 -9 -8 -7 -6 -5 -4 -3 -2 -1 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21
• Counting the number of units from one
point to another using the number line.
• Finding the absolute value of the
difference of of the coordinates of the
points.

“Distance Formula” is derived from the
“Pythagorean Theorem”
• Pythagorean Theorem:
c= 𝑎2+𝑏2
• Distance Formula:
d = (𝑥2 − 𝑥1 ) 2 ) + (𝑦2 − 𝑦1 ) 2
Activity 3:
Let Me
Formulate!
Perform the following activity. Answer
every questions that follows.
1. Plot the points A(2,1) and
B(8,9) on the coordinate
plane below
2. Draw a horizontal line
passing through A and a
vertical line containing B.
3. Mark and label the point of intersection of the two
lines as C
Q.What is the distance between A and C?
Q. How about the distance between B
and C?
4. Connect A and B by a line segment.
Q. What kind of triangle is formed by A, B,
and C? Explain your answer.
Q. How will you find the distance between
A and B?
Q. What is AB equal to?
5. Replace the coordinates of A by (x1, y1) and B by
(x2, y2)
Q. What would be the resulting coordinates
of C?
Q. What expressions represents the distance
between A and C?
Q. How about the expression represents the
distance between B and C?
Q. What equation will you use to find the
distance between A and B? Explain you
answer.
Generalization
Regardless of whether points are aligned horizontally or vertically, the
distance between these points can be determined using the Distance
Formula,
d = (𝒙𝟐 − 𝒙𝟏 ) 𝟐 ) + (𝒚𝟐 − 𝒚𝟏 ) 𝟐 . Moreover, the following formulas can also
be used.
d = │𝒙𝟐 − 𝒙𝟏 │, for the distance d between two points that are aligned
horizontally.
d = │𝒚𝟐 − 𝒚𝟏 │, for the distance d between two points that are aligned
vertically.
The Distance Formula can be used to find the distance between two
points on a coordinate plane.
IV. EVALUATION
