Questions and Answers

What is the distance formula?

  • Distance = (x2 - x1) + (y2 - y1)
  • Distance = √((x2 - x1)² + (y2 - y1)²) (correct)
  • Distance = |x2 - x1| + |y2 - y1|
  • Distance = (x2 + x1) / 2
  • What is the midpoint formula?

    (x1 + x2 / 2, y1 + y2 / 2)

    Study Notes

    Key Geometry Concepts

    • Distance Formula: Calculates the distance between two points ((x1, y1)) and ((x2, y2)) using the formula ( \sqrt{(x2−x1)^2+(y2−y1)^2} ).

    • Midpoint Formula: Determines the midpoint between two endpoints ((x1, y1)) and ((x2, y2)) with the formula ( \left(\frac{x1+x2}{2}, \frac{y1+y2}{2}\right) ).

    • Angle Bisector: A line or ray that splits an angle into two equal angles, ensuring congruence.

    • Collinear Points: A collection of points that all lie on the same straight line.

    • Complementary Angles: Two angles whose measures add up to 90 degrees.

    • Congruent Angles: Angles that have the same measure, indicating equality.

    • Coplanar Points: Points that all exist within the same geometric plane.

    • Line Definition: A straight one-dimensional figure that extends infinitely in both directions, containing an infinite number of points and having no thickness.

    • Midpoint: The exact center point between two endpoints of a line segment.

    • Perpendicular Lines: Two lines that intersect to form four right angles (90 degrees each).

    • Plane: A flat two-dimensional surface with no thickness that extends infinitely; defined by at least three non-collinear points.

    • Point: An exact location in space, represented by a dot and labeled with a capital letter, having no dimensions.

    • Segment Bisector: A specific line or segment that divides another segment into two equal parts.

    • Supplementary Angles: Two angles that together total 180 degrees.

    • Vertex: The point where two lines or rays meet to form an angle.

    • Vertical Angles: Angles that are opposite each other when two lines intersect, known for being congruent (equal in measure).
