  • Measuring Distance Between Two Points
    ::测量两点之间的距离

    Distance is the measure of length between two points. To measure is to determine how far apart two geometric objects are. The most common way to measure distance is with a ruler. Inch-rulers are usually divided up by eighth-inch (or 0.125 in) segments. Centimeter rulers are divided up by tenth-centimeter (or 0.1 cm) segments. Note that the distance between two points is the absolute value of the difference between the numbers shown on the ruler. This implies that you do not need to start measuring at “0”, as long as you subtract the first number from the second.
    ::两点之间的距离是测量两个几何天体之间的距离。 测量距离的最常用方法是用标尺测量距离。 英寸标尺通常用八英寸( 或0. 125英寸) 的区块分隔开来。 厘米标尺用十厘米( 或0. 1厘米) 的区块分隔开来。 请注意, 两点之间的距离是标尺上显示的数字之间的差数的绝对值。 这意味着只要从第二个区块中减去第一个数, 您不需要开始测量“ 0 ” 。

    The segment addition postulate states that if A , B , and C are collinear and B is between A and C , then A B + B C = A C .
    ::增加部分的假设是,如果A、B和C为圆线性,B介于A和C之间,则AB+BC=AC。

    You can find the distances between points in the x y plane if the lines are horizontal or vertical. If the line is vertical, find the change in the y coordinates. If the line is horizontal, find the change in the x coordinates.
    ::如果线条是水平或垂直的,您可以在 x - y 平面中找到点之间的距离。如果线条是垂直的,请在 y - 坐标处找到变化。如果线条是水平的,请在 x - 坐标处找到变化。

    Suppose you  want to measure your height , but the measuring tape  you have is old and the end is broken off. If the tape  now starts at 6 cm and reads 138 cm from the floor to the top of your head, how tall are you?
    ::假设你想测量你的身高,但你的测量磁带是旧的,末端是折断的。如果磁带现在从6厘米开始,读到从地板到头顶的138厘米,那么你有多高?

    Examples
    ::实例

    Example 1
    ::例1

    What is the distance marked on the ruler below? The ruler is in centimeters.
    ::标尺下面的距离是多少? 标尺是厘米。

    Subtract one endpoint from the other. The line segment spans from 3 cm to 8 cm. | 8 3 | = | 5 | = 5
    ::从另一端减去一个端点。 线段的长度从 3 厘米到 8 厘米不等 。 @ @ 8- 3 @ 5 @ 5 @ 5 @ label

    The line segment is 5 cm long. Notice that you also could have done | 3 8 | = | 5 | = 5 .
    ::线段长度为 5 厘米。 请注意, 您也可以做 3 - 8 5 5 。

    Example 2
    ::例2

    Make a sketch of O P ¯ , where Q is between O and P .
    ::给O和P之间的Q线画个草图

    Draw O P ¯ first, then place Q on the segment.
    ::先绘制 OP, 然后在段上放置 Q 。

    Example 3
    ::例3

    What is the distance between the two points shown below?
    ::下面列出的两点之间的距离是多少?

    Because this line is vertical, look at the change in the y coordinates.
    ::因为这条线是垂直的, 看看Y座标的变化。

    | 9 3 | = | 6 | = 6

    The distance between the two points is 6 units.
    ::两点之间的距离是6个单位。

    Example 4
    ::例4

    In the picture from Example 2, if O P = 17 and Q P = 6 , what is O Q ?
    ::从例2可以看出,如果OP=17和QP=6,什么是OQ?

    Use the Segment Addition Postulate.
    ::使用线段附加假设。

    O Q + Q P = O P O Q + 6 = 17 O Q = 17 6 O Q = 11
    Example 5
    ::OP=OPO6=17O17-6O11例5

    What is the distance between the two points shown below?
    ::下面列出的两点之间的距离是多少?

    Because this line is horizontal, look at the change in the x coordinates.
    ::因为这条线是水平的,所以请看 x - 坐标的变化 。

    | ( 4 ) 3 | = | 7 | = 7

    The distance between the two points is 7 units.
    ::两点之间的距离是7个单位。
