11. Calculation of Distance Using Coordinates 3 5 You could simply count the blocks. The answer is 2.

12. Calculation of Distance Using Coordinates 3 33 Counting blocks would be time consuming. The answer is 30. You could simply subtract. Subtraction means the difference between numbers.

13. Calculation of Distance Using Coordinates -8 33 The answer is 41. You could simply subtract. 33 – (-8) = 33 + 8 = 41 Note that negative numbers requires using algebra.

14. -8 -5 You could simply subtract. -5 – (-8) = -5 + 8 = 3 However if we subtract the numbers in reverse, then... -8 – (-5) = -8 + 5 = - 3 Therefore to avoid negative numbers, we take the absolute value of the differences.

25. If M is on the segment and M is a midpoint of It is necessary for both conditions. Let’s see why?

26. D, E, and F Are equidistant from both A and B But they are NOT midpoints. The midpoint Must be on the Segment !

27. Bisectors Bisectors can be any segment, ray, line, or plane if they go thru the midpoint of a segment.

28. D is midpoint of E is midpoint of C is midpoint of B is midpoint of Find the value of their coordinates.

44. Summary A B There are several symbols for geometric terms. C D F E B C No symbol means… The distance from B to C. A numerical value.

45. Summary 2 A B There are alternate symbols for distance, length, or measurement. 5 5 Measurements are always arbitrary due to the choice of units (meters, feet, etc.), degree of accuracy and scale.

46. Summary 3 The letters are the names of the points. The numbers are the coordinates that indicate the relative position of each point.

47. Summary 4 The ruler postulate allows us to… 1. Build number lines at any scale. 2. Compute distance by taking the absolute value of the difference of the coordinates.

48. Summary 5 The segment addition postulate allows us to conclude… The distance on a line is the sum of its parts. A B C AB + BC = AC
