Coordinate Geometry Worksheet for Maths Olympiad
How to solve it (Across, up, Pythagoras): Distance: across = difference of the x values, up = difference of the y values; distance = √(across² + up²). Midpoint = ((x₁ + x₂) ÷ 2, (y₁ + y₂) ÷ 2). Quadrants by signs: (+, +) first, (−, +) second, (−, −) third, (+, −) fourth.
