Students answer questions that require them to find the distance between two points using the distance formula in this engaging, self-checking, no-prep circuit activity.

How does a circuit work?

• Students begin with the problem in the top left. They answer the question and find the answer somewhere else and write “2” in the blank.
• Students then solve *that* problem, find the answer and write “3” in the blank and so on until they have solved every problem and returned to the beginning.

How many questions are there?

• There are 16 questions

What types of problems are there?

• In 8 problems, students simply find the distance between two points; 6 of the answers are simplified radicals.
• In 2 problems, students must determine if a triangle is scalene, isosceles, or equilateral when given the coordinates of the vertices.
• In 2 problems, students must determine which angle is the right angle when given the coordinates of the vertices of a right triangle.
• In 2 problems, students must determine the perimeter of a polygon when given the coordinates of the vertices.
• In 1 problem, students must find the area of a triangle when given the coordinates of the vertices.
• In 1 problem, students are given the distance between two points and must find the missing coordinate (they must solve a quadratic in the form x^2+bx+c=0 in this problem).
