3/8 Pre Algebra Extra Credit (Last Chance)

2 extra credit opportunities before 3rd quarter grades are final:

1) Visit this link, play around with the endpoints (you can just click and drag in the picture), and give me a half page write up of things that you discovered or found out.

2) Draw a segment in the coordinate plane (two endpoints). Calculate the distance between the 2 points. Then make a right triangle with the segment as the hypotenuse. Do the Pythagorean Theorem to find the lenght of the hypotenuse. Show your work and explain what you notice about doing the distance formula and doing the Pythagorean Theorem.

5 points per & you can do both.
