FIND MISSING COORDINATE USING DISTANCE FORMULA WORKSHEET

Find a given that :

Problem 1 :

P(2, 3) and Q(a, -1) are 4 units apart

Solution

Problem 2 :

P(-1, 1) and Q(a, -2) are 5 units apart

Solution

Problem 3 :

X (a, a) is √8 units from the origin

Solution

Problem 4 :

A (0, a) is equidistant from P(3, -3) and  Q(-2, 2)

Solution

Problem 5 :

Find b given that A(3, -2) and B(b, 1) are √13 units apart.

Solution

Use the given distance d between the two points to find the value of x or y.

Problem 1 :

(0, 3), (x, 5); d = 2√10

Solution

Problem 2 :

(-3, -1), (2, y); d = √41

Solution

Problem 3 :

(x, 7), (-4, 1); d = 6√2

Solution

Problem 4 :

(1, y), (8, 13); d = √74
