About this worksheet

What students practice

  • Students use the Pythagorean Theorem to calculate distances between coordinate points.
  • Students apply coordinate distances and map scales to evaluate transit connections.
  • Students distinguish straight-line distance from the length of an actual transit route.

How to use

Use after introducing the Pythagorean Theorem on coordinate planes. Have students show their calculations on scratch paper and use a calculator only when rounding is requested.

Curriculum

Common Core standard covered
