MIDPOINT FORMULAS
vdj
Objective: At the end of the lesson, I can…
▪derive the distance formula;
▪find the distance between two points;
▪applies the distance formula to prove some geometric
properties;
▪determine the midpoint formula;
▪find the midpoint between two points;
In your community or province, was
there any instance when a stranger
or a tourist asked you about the
location of a place or a landmark?
Were you able to give the right
direction and how far it is?
If not, could you give the right
information the next time somebody
asks you the same question?
Activity 1: How long is this?
Use the number line below to find the length of each of the following
segments and then answer the questions that follow.

1. Segment AB

2. Segment BC https://vclock.com/timer/#countdown=00:04:00&enabled=
0&seconds=240&title=Timer&sound=xylophone&loop=1
3. Segment CD
4. Segment DE
5. Segment EF
6. Segment FG
7. Segment AG
Activity 1: How long is this?
Use the number line below to find the length of each of the following
segments and then answer the questions that follow.

1. Segment AB
= 4 units 1. How did you find the length of each segment?
2. Did you use the coordinates of the points in finding
2. Segment BC = 4 units the length of each segment? If yes, how?
3. Segment CD = 6 units 3. Which segments are congruent? Why?
4. How would you relate the lengths of the following
4. Segment DE = 2 units segments?
a) AB, BC , and AC
5. Segment EF = 3 units b.2) AC , CE , and AE
5. Is the length of AD the same as the length of DA?
6. Segment FG = 1units How about BF and FB ? Explain your answer.
7. Segment AG = 20 units
Distance Formula:
- It is used to find the
distance between two
points.
- If P1(x1, y1) and P2(x2, y2)
are endpoints of a line
segment, then the distance
between P1 and P2 is
equal to:
Example:
▪Find the distance between A(4,8) and B(1,12)

5
Let us TRY this!

▪ Find the distance between:


▪A. (2, 7) and (11, 9)

▪B. (-5, 8) and (2, - 4)


Midpoint Formula:
- It is used to find the
center of a line segment.
- If P1(x1, y1) and P2(x2, y2)
are endpoints of a line
segment, then the
midpoint is:
Example:

▪Find the midpoint between A(4,8) and B(1,12)


A (4, B (1, 12)
8)
YOU TRY!!
▪Find the midpoint between:
▪A) (2, 7) and (14, 9)

▪B) (-5, 8) and (2, - 4)


1. How far is Emilio’s
house from Diego’s
house?
2. Suppose the city
hall is 4 km north of
Jose’s house. How
far is it from the
plaza? from Emilio’s
house?
2. How far is the
Gasoline Station from
Jose’s house if it is
4km south of Emilio’s
house?
4. What are the
coordinates of the
points corresponding to
the houses of Jose,
Emilio, and Diego? How
about the coordinates
of the point
corresponding to the
plaza?
Performance Task:

▪Perform the following activities.


▪Create a map of your home, then make a
sketch of it on a coordinate plane.
▪Indicate on the sketch some important
landmarks (at least 4), then determine their
coordinates.
Answer the following questions:

1. Explain why the landmarks you have


indicated are significant in your
community.
2. Write also a paragraph explaining how
you selected the coordinates of these
important landmarks.
3. Distance of each landmark from the other.
Let us formulate & do the activity!!!
1. Draw a Cartesian plane on your notebook, plot the b. How will you find the distance between A and
points A(2,1) and B(8,9) on the coordinate plane. B?

2. Draw a horizontal line passing through A and a c. What is AB equal to?


vertical line containing B.
6. Replace the coordinates of A by (x1, y1) and B
3. Mark and label the point of intersection of the two by (x2, y2).
lines as C.
a. What would be the resulting coordinates of C?
4. What are the coordinates of C? Explain how you
obtained your answer. b. What expression represents the distance
between A and C?
a. What is the distance between A and C?
c. How about the expression that represents the
b. How about the distance between B and C? distance between B and C?

5. Connect A and B by a line segment. d. What equation will you use to find the distance
between A and B? Explain your answer.
