ANSWER KEY:
Using the Distance Formula in
Proving Geometric Properties
Many geometric properties can be proven by using
a coordinate plane. A proof that uses figures on a
coordinate plane to prove geometric properties
is called a coordinate proof.

Guidelines for placing figures on a


coordinate
1. Use the origin as vertex or center of a figure.
plane.
2. Place at least one side of a polygon on an axis.
3. If possible, keep the figure within the first quadrant.
4. Use coordinates that make computations simple and easy.
Sometimes, using coordinates that are multiples of two would make
the computation easier.
EXAMPLE:

Prove that the diagonals of a rectangle are congruent


using the methods of coordinate geometry.

Given: ABCD with diagonals AC and BD
