By K Dodd

Directions and/or Common Information:

Find the distance between the two given points for questions 1 - 3.  Round your answer to two decimal places, if necessary.

(-2, 5) and (8, 3)

(7, -1) and (-2, -3)

(3, -4) and (-6, 8)

Directions and/or Common Information:

For questions 1 - 3, find the midpoint of the segment containing the given endpoints.

(-2, 5) and (8, 3)

(7, -1) and (-2, -3)

(3, -4) and (-6, 8)

Directions and/or Common Information:

For the next two questions, find the distance between each pair of points, and use this information to determine whether or not the three points form the vertices of a right triangle.

Point A (-5, 2); Point B (-1, 5); Point C (5, -3)

Point A (8, 3); Point B (15, -31); Point C (-5, -20)
