FrontCoordinate Geometry
What is the formula for calculating the distance between two points $(x_{1}, y_{1})$ and $(x_{2}, y_{2})$ ?
BackCoordinate Geometry
The distance between two points is calculated using the formula, $d = \sqrt{({(x_{1} - x_{2})}^{2} + {(y_{1} - y_{2})}^{2})}$
Where:
$d$ is the distance between two points
$(x_{1}, y_{1})$ is the set of coordinates for a known point
$(x_{2}, y_{2})$ is the set of coordinates for another known point
This is given in your exam formula booklet.

What does the notation [AB] represent in coordinate geometry?
The notation [AB] represents the line segment between points A and B.
What are radians?
Radians are a way of measuring of angles as an alternative to degrees.
1 radian is the angle in a sector with radius 1 and arc length 1.
What is the symbol for radians?
Radians are indicated with $^{c}$ but it is more typical to see $rad$ . Sometimes, if the angle includes $π$ , then no symbol is used as the use of radians is implied.
Degrees will always be indicated with º.
True or False?
$2 π rad = 180 º$ .
False.
$2 π rad = 360 º$ .
How do you convert an angle from radians to degrees?
To convert from radians to degrees, multiply by $\frac{180}{π}$ .
How do you convert an angle from degrees to radians?
To convert from degrees to radians, multiply by $\frac{π}{180}$ .
True or False?
In exams, you should always use degrees unless otherwise indicated.
False.
In exams, you should use radians unless otherwise indicated.
