Distance Formula Demo
In Mr. Love’s junior high pre algebra class, students threw balls at the wall onto a projected grid. After marking where each student's ball hit, students were asked to describe where the points were. Once students realized this was difficult, the class switched to a coordinate plane to more easily describe locations using the x and y axes.
The video shown above is an explanation of how to find the distance between two points diagonally using the Pythagorean Theorem.
