    The Shortest Distance From One Place to Another
    ::从一个地方到另一个地方最短距离

    The shortest distance between any two points is a straight line . This concept is analyzed in great detail by applied mathematicians who are hired by transportation companies to design the most efficient routes possible. These mathematicians need to find the best route to minimize both distance and time. The Pythagorean Theorem is one of many tools at their disposal to accomplish this. A school district needs to find the route with the shortest distance for a school bus to get from the school to the first house on its route. Use the interactive below to explore and compare the different options.
    ::任何两个点之间的最短距离是一条直线。 由运输公司雇用的实用数学家对这一概念进行了非常详细的分析,这些数学家设计了尽可能高效的路线。 这些数学家需要找到最佳路线,以尽量减少距离和时间。 Pytagorian Theorem是他们可用于实现这一目标的多种工具之一。 一个学区需要找到一条距离最短的路线,以便乘坐校车从学校到路线上的第一栋房子。 使用下面的交互式方式来探索和比较不同的选择。

    Using the Pythagorean Theorem to Find Distance
    ::使用毕达哥里定理来寻找距离

    Many apps on your cell phone also use the Pythagorean Theorem. A mapping app uses the coordinates of latitude and longitude to turn the Earth into a spherical coordinate plane . As you learned in the previous activity, the distance between two points could be found using a straight line. When points line up along an axis such as the same latitude line or the same y-axis line, it is easy to find the distance. Use the interactive below to explore this idea:
    ::您手机上的许多应用程序也使用 Pythagorean Theorem 。 映射应用程序使用纬度和经度坐标将地球变成球形坐标平面。 正如您在前一次活动中学到的, 使用直线可以找到两个点之间的距离。 当点沿着同一纬度线或相同的 y- 轴线等轴线排行时, 很容易找到距离。 使用下面的互动来探索这个想法 :

    The distance formula is a formula that is used to measure distances on a coordinate plane. However, it’s just the Pythagorean Theorem rearranged. If you told someone how to solve for c , you would be saying the formula exactly:
    ::距离公式是用来测量坐标平面距离的公式。 然而,这只是Pytagoren Theorem的重新排列。 如果你告诉别人如何解决c, 你会说公式的准确性:

    2. Square a  and b  and add the sum.
      ::a和b方形并加上总和。
    3. Take the square root.
      ::拿平方根来

    The distance formula is  essentially the algorithm above, but written using numbers and operations.
    ::距离公式基本上是上面的算法,但用数字和操作来写。

    1. Find the value of a  and b . The value of a  can be determined by taking the difference of the x-coordinates | x 2 x 1 | . The value of b  can be determined by taking the difference of the y-coordinates | y 2 y 1 |

    Use the distance formula to find the distance between the points (3, 6) and (8, -1).
    ::使用距离公式查找点(3,6)和点(8,1)之间的距离。

    Let’s begin by identifying our values:
    ::让我们首先确定我们的价值观:

    • x 1 = 3  
      ::x1=3
    • x 2 = 8  
      ::x2=8
    • y 1 = 6  
      ::y1=6 y1=6
    • y 2 = 1  
      ::y2%1

    Next substitute these values into the formula.
    ::然后将这些值替换为公式。

    | 8 3 | 2 + | 1 6 | 2

    From here you can simplify using the order of operations and PEMDAS.
    ::在此您可以使用操作顺序和 PEMDAS 来简化操作 。

    | 8 3 | 2 + | 1 6 | 2 | 5 | 2 + | 7 | 2 5 2 + 7 2 25 + 49 74

    Answer: The prime factorization of 74 are  2 37   so you cannot simplify it, but you can approximate it to 8.6.
    ::回答:74的基数乘数是237 这样你就不能简化它,但你可以把它接近8.6。

      Summary
    • To find the distance between the points ( x 1 , y 1 ) and ( x 2 , y 2 ) ,  use the equation: | x 2 x 1 | 2 + | y 2 y 1 | 2
