Story

Pythagorean Theorem

Pythagorean theorem states the relationship between the lengths of the sides of a right triangle.

Theorem: The sum of the squared legs of a right triangle equals to the hypothenuse squared.

🗨️

a²+b²=c²

are the lenght of the sides.

a b

is the hypothenuse lenght .

Calculation of Distance

The distance, d, between two points in a coordinate plane can be calculated using the Pythagorean Theorem.

Definition: Distance betweenis:

(x₁,y₁) and (x₂,y₂)

🗨️

is the lenght of one leg.

|x₂-x₁|

Change of y

is the lenght of the other leg.

|y₂-y₁|

Change of x

Let's see some examples:

Example 1: Calculate the distance between points (3, 4) and (7, 1)

(x₁,y₁)=(3,4); (x₂,y₂)=(7,1)

d=5

Distance Between Two Points

Plot the points and trace a segment indicating the distance between the points.

Calculate the distance between points (-1, -2) and (5, 6)

(x₁,y₁)=(-1,-2); (x₂,y₂)=(5,6)

Solution

Distance Travelled

A car moved as shown in the figure. Find the total distance travelled by the car.

d=√50 km

(x₁,y₁)=(0,1); (x₂,y₂)=(5,5)
