18 – 5 = 13 units
17 – 3 = 14 units
AB2 = 132 + 142
Using Pythagoras’ Theorem,
AB2 = (18 - 5)2 + (17 - 3)2

Length = x2 – x1
Length = y2 – y1
AB2 = (x2-x1)2 + (y2-y1)2
Hence, the formula for Length of AB or Distance

Find the distance between the points (-1,3) and (2,-6)
• Simply by using the formula:
(-1,3) and (2,-6)
(x1,y1) and (x2,y2)
Since
= 9.49 units (3 sig. fig)
Given 3 points A,B and C, distance formula is used to check whether the points are collinear.If not we
may check for an isosceles, equilateral or right
angled triangle.Perform the check on the following sets of points :
i. (1,5), (2,3), (-2, -11)
ii. (1,-1),(-½, ½),(1,2)
iii. (a,a),(-a,-a), (-a ,a )
iv. (12,8),(-2,6),(6,0)
v. (2,5),(-1,2),(4,7)

Distance Formula can be used to check for special quadrilaterals !!
Given 4 points A,B,C,D If AB=CD, AD = BC,it is a PARALLELOGRAM.
(Opposite sides are equal) If AB = CD, AD = BC, AC = BD ,it is a
RECTANGLE.(Diagonals are also equal) If AB=BC=CD=DA, it is a RHOMBUS.(All sides
are equal) If AB=BC=CD=DA and AC=BD, it is a SQUARE.
Find the perimeter of the quadrilateral ABCD. Is ABCD a special quadrilateral?

SPECIAL QUADRILATERALS
1. Show that (1,1),(4,4),(4,8),(1,5) are the vertices of a parallelogram.
2. Show that A(2,-2),B(14,10),C(11,13) and D(-1,1) are the vertices of a rectangle.
3. Show that the points (1,2),(5,4),(3,8),(-1,6) are the vertices of a square.
4. Show that (1,-1) is the centre of the circle circumscribing the triangle whose angular points are (4,3),(-2,3) and (6,-1).
FINDING CO-ORDINATES
1. Find the point on x – axis which is equidistant from (2, -5) and (-2,9).
2. Find the point on y – axis which is equidistant from (2,-5) and ( -2, 9).
3. Find a relation between x and y so that the point (x, y) is equidistant from (2,-5) and ( -2, 9).
4. Find the value of k such that the distance between the points (2, -5) and (k, 7) is 13 units.
