This week in geometry class, I learned about Distance and Midpoints. The distance formula is the distance between two points, which are the absolute value of the difference between their coordinates. In addition, the distance formula is derived by creating a triangle and using the Pythagorean Theorem to find the length of the hypotenuse. The midpoint formula is a formula that is often used to find midpoint is the middle point of a line segment. The following are some examples of the distance and midpoint formulas: Distance Formula on a number line is (|x2-x1|or|x1-x2|) and Midpoint Formula on a number line is (x1+x2/2).
