  1. Example: If we want to find the distance between these two points - (2, 2) and (5, 6) - we need to find the length of (c) (.ggb)
     
  2. Problem #1: We want to find the distance between the two points below. But we need to start with forming a right triangle! (.ggb)
     
  3. Problem #1 continued: Using the third vertex to find the distance between (1,2) and (13,7). (.ggb)
     
  4. Problem #2: Finding the distance between (1,3) and (16,11) (.ggb)
     
  5. Group A: Find and plot the third vertex (.ggb)
     
  6. Let's try Example #3. All the steps are the same, except we will round our final answer to the nearest hundredth (.ggb)
     
  7. Group C: Find the distance between (-3,1) and (6,4) (.ggb)
