About this worksheet

What students practice

  • Students use coordinate differences as the legs of a right triangle to find distances.
  • Students calculate exact and rounded distances between points in all four quadrants.
  • Students apply coordinate distances to workspace planning and length constraints.

How to use

Use after teaching the Pythagorean Theorem. Have students show coordinate differences and equations on scratch paper; allow calculators for rounding.

Curriculum

Common Core standard covered

School Bake Sale: Batch Station Distances

Use coordinate distances to plan workspace for larger recipes.

Read the Station Maps

A bakery is scaling up recipes for a school bake sale and rearranging its workstations. Find straight-line distances. Each coordinate unit represents 1 foot unless stated otherwise. Round only when asked.

1.
The flour station is F and the mixer is M. How far apart are they?−8−6−4−224680−8−7−6−5−4−3−2−112345678FM

Distance:   feet

2.
The dough station is D and the tray rack is T. What is the straight-line distance from D to T?−8−6−4−224680−8−7−6−5−4−3−2−112345678DT
  • A. 17 feet
  • B. 13 feet
  • C. 169 feet
  • D. √29 feet
3.
For the larger cookie recipe, a sugar bin is placed at (−2, −4) and a mixing bowl at (4, 3). Which expression gives their exact straight-line distance?
  • A. √85 feet
  • B. 85 feet
  • C. √45 feet
