This is the Grade 10 Mathematics self-learning module for Quarter 2, Module 6: “Applying the Distance Formula to Prove Some Geometric Properties.” It is an Alternative Delivery Mode module (First Edition, 2020) from the Department of Education – Cordillera Administrative Region, made for learners studying at home with help from a teacher or parent. After working through it, learners can find the distance between two points on the Cartesian plane and use that distance to prove facts about triangles and quadrilaterals.

What learners will learn
The module says that after going through it, learners are expected to:
- find the distance between two points using the Distance Formula; and
- apply the Distance Formula in proving properties of some geometric figures.
The module has one lesson, titled “Distance Formula.”
The Distance Formula, step by step
The lesson starts with a classroom of 9 seats in 3 rows and 3 columns. Two students, Juan and Juana, describe where they sit using coordinates: Juan is at (1, 1) and Juana is at (3, 2). If the seats are 1 meter apart, how far apart are they?
The module joins the two points with a segment. That segment is the hypotenuse of a right triangle. The legs are the vertical distance (1 meter) and the horizontal distance (2 meters). By the Pythagorean Theorem:
- c² = 1² + 2² = 1 + 4 = 5
- c = √5, or about 2.24 meters
The module then turns this idea into a general rule. For points P₁(x₁, y₁) and P₂(x₂, y₂), the horizontal distance is x₂ − x₁ and the vertical distance is y₂ − y₁. Applying the Pythagorean Theorem and taking the square root gives the Distance Formula:
d = √((x₂ − x₁)² + (y₂ − y₁)²)
Example 1 uses it on E(1, 1) and R(2, 4): d = √((2 − 1)² + (4 − 1)²) = √(1 + 9) = √10.
Using the formula to prove geometric properties
The rest of the lesson shows how distance, together with slope, can prove what kind of figure a set of points forms.
Proving a figure is a square
In Example 2, the points L(−4, 4), O(3, 9), V(8, 2), and E(1, −3) are joined in order. To show the figure is a square, the module checks two things:
- All sides are equal. Each side, LO, OV, VE, and EL, has length √74.
- All angles are right angles. Using the slope formula m = (y₂ − y₁)/(x₂ − x₁), sides LO and VE have slope 5/7, while OV and EL have slope −7/5. Neighboring sides have slopes that are negative reciprocals of each other, so they are perpendicular and every angle is a right angle.
So LOVE is a square, with a perimeter of 4(√74), or about 34.409 units.
Naming coordinates with letters
Example 3 shows how to give vertices coordinates in terms of a and b. Points on the same horizontal line share a y-coordinate, and points on the same vertical line share an x-coordinate. Points on the x-axis have a y-coordinate of 0. Using these rules, the rectangle’s vertices are G(−a, b), O(a, b), L(a, 0), and D(−a, 0).
A general proof: the isosceles triangle
Example 4 proves that two sides of an isosceles triangle are congruent. Triangle ABI is placed with B(0, b) on the y-axis and A(−a, 0) and I(a, 0) on the x-axis. The Distance Formula gives AB = √(a² + b²) and IB = √(a² + b²), so AB ≅ IB.
Tips for placing figures
The module gives four suggestions for setting up a coordinate proof:
- Use the origin as a vertex or the center of the figure.
- Place at least one side on the x-axis or y-axis.
- Keep the figure in the first quadrant if possible.
- Choose coordinates that keep the computations simple.

Lesson Distance Formula
What’s In
In your previous lessons, you have learned how to plot points and name the coordinates of the points on the Cartesian plane. Examine the situation below.
[illustration: classroom with 9 seats arranged in 3 rows and 3 columns; a teacher stands at the front; two students are labeled JUAN and JUANA]
The picture above depicts a classroom with 9 seats arranged in 3 rows and 3 columns. During their Mathematics class, the teacher asked Juan and Juana to describe their location.
If you were Juan and Juana,
- How would you describe your location? What mathematical concepts can you use to describe your location?
- How far are you from each other? How will you determine your distance from each other?
Now let us visualize the situation in the Cartesian plane.
[chart: scatter plot on a Cartesian plane; x and y axes numbered 0 to 6; dots mark seats in a 3 by 3 arrangement; labels: Juan, Juana. Values are not labeled on the chart beyond the labels and axis numbers shown.]
Using the illustration above, the location of Juan and Juana can be determined by naming the point of their location in the Cartesian plane. Remember that the coordinates of a point are always written as an ordered pair of the form (x, y). The first number corresponds to the x-coordinate and the second is the y-coordinate. Hence, Juan is at point (1, 1) and Juana is at point (3, 2).
Now, it’s your turn!
Activity 1.
A) Write the coordinates of each given point: a) D _______ b) I _______ c) S _______ d) T _______
B) Plot the following points on the Cartesian plane: e) A (8, 3) f) N (−6, 4) g) C (−5, −7) h) E (4, −9)
[chart: Cartesian plane with x and y axes numbered −10 to 10; points labeled D, I, S, and T are plotted. Coordinates are not printed on the chart.]
transcriber’s note: In the source, Activity 1 is laid out as a two-column table, with the instructions on the left and the blank Cartesian plane on the right. The plane is transcribed above as a chart.
What’s New
Using the situation of Juan and Juana, find the distance between them if the students in the class were seated 1 meter from each other.
The distance between two points in the coordinate plane is the length of the segment that joins the two points. Hence, to find the distance between Juan and Juana, draw a segment joining the points of their location. The figure below demonstrates that the distance between Juan and Juana can be found by forming a right triangle in which their distance is the hypotenuse, while the horizontal and the vertical segments are the legs of the right triangle.
[chart: coordinate grid; figure showing the locations of Juan and Juana joined by a segment, forming a right triangle] Labels: Juan; Juana; c; vertical distance (a); horizontal distance (b) Axes: y, with marks 1 to 5; x, with marks 1 to 5
Recall the Pythagorean Theorem: The square of the hypotenuse of a right triangle is equal to the sum of the squares of its two legs.
We will apply the Pythagorean Theorem to solve for the distance between Juan and Juana. Let c be their distance. The vertical distance and the horizontal distance which are the legs of the triangle are 1 meter and 2 meters, respectively. Hence,
c² = 1² + 2² c² = 1 + 4 c² = 5 c = √5 ≈ 2.24
Therefore, the distance between Juan and Juana is √5 or approximately 2.24 meters.
What is It
Let us derive the distance formula to find the distance between two points in the coordinate plane. Consider the figure below, let d be the distance between point P₁ and point P₂ with coordinates (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂), respectively. It is also shown from the figure that the horizontal distance, b, is x₂ − x₁ and the vertical distance, a, is y₂ − y₁.
[chart: coordinate diagram; points P₁ and P₂ joined by segment d, with horizontal distance b and vertical distance a] Labels: P₂(x₂, y₂); P₁(x₁, y₁); d; a = y₂ − y₁; b = x₂ − x₁; y₂; y₁; x₁; x₂ Axes: y; x
Using the Pythagorean Theorem, we have:
d² = a² + b² d² = (y₂ − y₁)² + (x₂ − x₁)²
Taking the square roots of both sides of the equation:
√d² = √((y₂ − y₁)² + (x₂ − x₁)²) d = √((y₂ − y₁)² + (x₂ − x₁)²)
The Distance Formula
The distance, d, between points A(x₁, y₁) and B(x₂, y₂) may be found using the formula:
d = √((x₂ − x₁)² + (y₂ − y₁)²)
Example 1. Plot and solve the distance between the points E (1, 1) and R (2,4) in the coordinate plane.
Solution:
| A) Graph: | B) Distance: |
|---|---|
| [chart: coordinate plane; points E(1,1) and R(2,4) plotted and joined by a segment] Labels: R(2,4); E(1,1) Axes: y; x | Let P₁ (x₁, y₁) be equal to E (1, 1) and P₂ (x₂, y₂) be equal to R(2,4). Hence, x₁ = 1 and y₁ = 1; and x₂ = 2 and y₂ = 4 Substitute the coordinates of points E and R in the formula: d = √((x₂ − x₁)² + (y₂ − y₁)²) d = √((2 − 1)² + (4 − 1)²) Simplify it further: d = √(1)² + (3)² d = √1 + 9 d = √10 Therefore the distance between points E and R is √10. |
Example 2. Show that the figure formed when points L (-4, 4), O (3, 9), V (8, 2), E (1,-3) are connected consecutively is a square, then find its perimeter.
Solution:
- Plot the points L (-4, 4), O (3, 9), V (8, 2), E (1,-3) on the coordinate plane.
[chart: coordinate plane; points L(-4,4), O(3,9), V(8,2), and E(1,-3) connected consecutively to form a quadrilateral] Labels: x-axis; L(-4,4); O(3,9); V(8,2); E(1,-3)
- To show that the figure formed is a square, we need to show that all the sides are equal in length and all angles are right angles.
A) Show that the lengths of LO̅, OV̅, VE̅ and EL̅ are congruent.
i) to solve the length of LO, we will use the points L (-4, 4) & O (3, 9)
LO = √((3 − −4)² + (9 − 4)²) = √74
ii) to solve for the length of OV, use O (3, 9) & V (8, 2)
OV = √((8 − 3)² + (2 − 9)²) = √74
iii) to solve for the length of VE, use V (8, 2) & E (1,-3)
VE = √((1 − 8)² + (−3 − 2)²) = √74
iv) to solve for the length of EL, use E (1,-3) & L (-4, 4)
VE = √((−4 − 1)² + (4 − −3)²) = √74
[transcriber’s note: the source prints “VE” on the left side of this line, where “EL” is expected; transcribed as printed]
Thus, LO=OV=VE=EL.
B) Show that all angles L, O, V, & E are right angles. Note that if two lines are perpendicular, then they formed a right angle and their slopes are negative reciprocal of each other. Hence, we need to find the slope of each side.
Recall: Slope of a line The slope of a line, m, given two points (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂) is
m = (y₂ − y₁)/(x₂ − x₁)
i) The slope of LO, use the points L (-4, 4) & O (3, 9)
m_LO = (9 − 4)/(3 − (−4)) = 5/7
ii) The slope of OV, use O (3, 9) & V (8, 2)
m_OV = (2 − 9)/(8 − 3) = −7/5
iii) The slope of VE, use V (8, 2) & E (1,-3)
m_VE = (−3 − 2)/(1 − 8) = 5/7
iv) The slope of EL, use E (1,-3) & L (-4, 4)
m_EL = (4 − (−3))/(−4 − 1) = −7/5
C) Based from the computed slopes of each segment, we can conclude the following:
i. The slopes of LO and OV are negative reciprocals of each other, then angle O is a right angle. ii. The slopes of OV and VE are negative reciprocals of each other, then angle V is a right angle. iii. The slopes of VE and EL are negative reciprocals of each other, then angle E is a right angle. iv. The slopes of EL and LO are negative reciprocals of each other, then angle L is a right angle.
Since all the sides of the figure are congruent and all the angles are right angles, then quadrilateral LOVE is a square.
To solve for the perimeter, use the formula for the perimeter of square.
P = 4s = 4(√74) ≈ 34.409 units
Example 3. Find the coordinates (in terms of a and b) of points G, O, L, and D in the figure at the right. (Remember that the coordinate of points on the same vertical line share the same x – coordinate while points on the same horizontal line share the same y – coordinate.)
[chart: coordinate diagram of a rectangle with vertices G, O, L, and D on the axes] Labels: y-axis; x-axis; G(−a, ?); O(?, b); D(?, ?); L(a, ?)
Solution:
a) finding the coordinates of G: Since G and O lie on the same horizontal line, it implies that they have the same y – coordinate. Thus, the coordinate of G is (−a, b)
b) finding the coordinates of O: Since O and L lie on the same vertical line, it implies that they have the same x – coordinate. Thus, the coordinate of O is (a, b).
c) finding the coordinates of L: Since L lies on the x-axis, it means that its y – coordinate is 0. Thus, the coordinate of L is (a, 0).
d) finding the coordinates of D: Since D lies on the x – axis, it means that its y- coordinate is 0. D also lies on the same vertical line with G which means that they have the same x – coordinate. Thus, the coordinates of D is(−a, 0).
e) Therefore, the coordinates are G(−a, b), O (a, b), L (a, 0) & D(−a, 0).
Example 4. Prove that the two sides of an isosceles triangle are congruent.
[illustration: isosceles triangle ABI with tick marks on sides AB and IB; vertices labeled B (top), A (bottom left), I (bottom right)]
Given: ΔABI with sides AB̅ , IB̅ ,IA̅ Prove: AB̅ ≅ IB̅
To prove:
- Place ΔABI on the coordinate plane and label the coordinate points as shown below:
[chart: coordinate diagram of isosceles triangle ABI on the coordinate plane] Labels: B(0,b); A(-a,0); I(a,0) Axes: y; x
Prov
[transcriber’s note: the word “Prov” stands alone in the source before “To prove:”; transcribed as printed]
To prove:
- Find the distance between A(-a,0) and B (0,b). Substitute –a and 0 to x₂ and x₁, respectively, and 0 and b to y₂ and y₁, respectively.
AB = √((−a − 0)² + (0 − b)²) AB = √(a² + b²)
- Find the distance between I (a,0) and B (0,b). Substitute a and 0 to x₂ and x₁, respectively, and 0 and b to y₂ and y₁, respectively.
IB = √((a − 0)² + (0 − b)²) IB = √(a² + b²)
- Since AB = √(a² + b²) and IB = √(a² + b²), by substitution we can say that AB = IB.
∴ AB̅ ≅ IB̅. The two sides of an isosceles triangle are congruent.
Here are some suggestions to help you place figures for your proofs.
- Use the origin of the coordinate plane as vertex or center of the figure.
- Place at least one side of the figure on a coordinate axis, either the x or y- axis.
- Keep the figure within the first quadrant if possible.
- Use coordinates that make computations as simple as possible.

What I Have Learned
- The Distance Formula
The distance, d, between points A(x₁, y₁) and B(x₂, y₂) may be found using the formula:
d = √((x₂ − x₁)² + (y₂ − y₁)²)
- With the use of the coordinate plane, distance formula is very helpful in proving properties of some geometric figures. However, the geometric figure must be placed properly on the coordinate axes so that it will be easier to prove. Here are some of the appropriate ways of placing geometric figures on the coordinate plane.
What I Can Do
Activity 4. Answer the following problems:
Lieutenant Santos orders an air strike in the battlefield targeting the enemy at a coordinate (2, 5). If he is positioned at a coordinate (-14, -12), how far is he from the target area? If the danger zone is within the 10 km radius from the strike point, is Lt. Santos safe? (Let 1 unit = 1 km)
Chester and his father stood on their newly-bought rectangular lot whose length and width are 60 and 40 meters, respectively. His father told him that the place they are standing at is one of the four boundary points of their lot. He then told Chester that they are going to put a marker on each of the four boundary points. Help Chester to locate the coordinates of the 3 boundary points using the Cartesian coordinate plane if the coordinates of their location is at (-30, 20). (Let 1 unit = 1 meter)
