Using the Coordinate Plane to Find Distances in a Treasure Hunt

In this video, we embark on a treasure hunt using coordinates to find the distance between two treasure chests: one at (-6, -4) and the other at (-6, 5). Since both points share the same x-coordinate, we calculate the distance by finding the absolute value of the difference between their y-coordinates. The distance between the two treasure chests is 9 units. This lesson aligns with Common Core Standard 6.NS.C.8, focusing on solving real-world problems by graphing points and calculating distances on the coordinate plane. Ideal for students learning how to apply coordinate geometry in exciting, real-world contexts!
