1. Warm up
Find the distance between the points (1,4), and (-2, 3).
2. Find the distance the ball was kicked in the diagram.
3.16
(40,45) 50
(10,5)
(0,0)

2. Using Distance or Pythagorean Theorem
Closest to the Origin

3. Ex: 1 Which point is closer to the Origin, (-5, 2.1) or (6, 1)?

4. (-1.5, -10) is closest to the Origin.
Ex: 2 Which point is closest to the Origin, (1.5, -10), (12.2, 1) or (6.7, 7.7)?
(-1.5, -10) is closest to the Origin.
