PLEASE HELP! Ill give Brainliest!!!
On the coordinate plane shown below, points G and I have coordinates (6,4) and (3,2)
, respectively.
1) Design a strategy in which the Pythagorean theorem is used to calculate the straight line distance between points G and I on a coordinate plane. Use complete sentences to describe the strategy.
2) Use the Pythagorean theorem to determine the distance between the two points on the coordinate plane. In your final answer, include all of your calculations.
3) Use the distance formula and the coordinates of points G and I to prove that the Pythagorean theorem is an alternative method for calculating the distance between points on a coordinate plane. In your final answer, include all of your calculations.

Given : points G and I have coordinates (6,4) and (3,2)
To Find : Use Pythagorean theorem to calculate the straight line distance between points G and I
Solution:
points G and I have coordinates (6,4) and (3,2)
Draw a line parallel to y axis passing through G
Draw a line parallel to x axis passing through I
Intersection point K ( 6 , 2)
IK = 6 - 3 = 3
GK = 4 -2 = 2
ΔIKG right angled triangle
Pythagoras' theorem: square on the hypotenuse of a right-angled triangle is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two perpendicular sides.
GI² = IK² + GK²
=> GI² = 3² + 2²
=> GI² = 13
=> GI = √13
using distance formula
G (6,4) and I (3,2)
= √(6 - 3)² + (4 - 2)²
= √3² + 2²
= √9 + 4
= √13
