If necessary first fill-in the facts for pts E & F[br]Then for your trys:[br]1. Each time place pts C & D so their distance will be equal to EF.[br]2. record their coordinates[br]3. calculate the ∆x & ∆y[br]4. calculate/determine their distance.[br]**FYI: sqrt is the abbreviation for "square root of" **
1. The ∆x and ∆y for the pair of pts. in these examples were never equal to zero. What are your take aways?
2. What did we need to do in order to get the length of the segments in these examples? (FYI - the length of a segment and the distance between two points will be equal).
3. Is there another way to get the distance between two points on a coordinate plane? Explain.
