Point S is between R and T on RT . Use the given information to write an equation in terms
of x. Solve the equation. Then find RS and ST.
11. RS = 2x + 10
ST = x – 4
RT = 21
12. RS = 3x – 16
ST = 4x – 8
RT = 60
V
Distance (Length) of Line Segment in a Coordinate Plane
Example 1: Find the length of a line whose endpoints are (-3,4) and
(5,4)
Pythagorean Theorem:
Example 2: Find the distance, JK. Note: Think of right triangle.
Example 3: Bird B is flying to Bird A.
How far will he fly?
