Students complete nine fill-in-the-blank problems finding vertical and horizontal distances between points and side lengths of a rectangle from its corners. The matching activity pairs four point pairs with their distances — 3, 5, 6, and 8 units.
Finding distances by subtracting shared coordinates — and using distances to measure rectangle sides — connects coordinate reading to geometry and prepares students for perimeter and area on the grid.

Part A: Fill in the Blank
Write the missing word or number on each line.
1. The distance between (1, 3) and (1, 7) is 4 units.
2. The distance between (2, 5) and (6, 5) is 4 units.
3. A rectangle has corners at (1, 2), (1, 6), (5, 6), and (5, 2). Its length is 4 units.
4. Using the same rectangle, its width is 4 units.
5. The perimeter of that rectangle is 16 units.
6. The midpoint between (2, 0) and (8, 0) on the x-axis is (5, 0).
7. A square has one corner at (1, 1) and an opposite corner at (4, 4). The side length is 3 units.
8. Point R is at (3, 2) and Point S is at (3, 8). They are 6 units apart.
9. A segment goes from (0, 5) to (7, 5). Its length is 7 units.
Part B: Matching
Match each item on the left to the correct answer on the right.
1. Match each item to its correct answer.
Distance from (2, 1) to (2, 6)
→ 5 units
3 units
Distance from (0, 3) to (8, 3)
→ 8 units
6 units
Distance from (4, 0) to (4, 3)
→ 3 units
5 units
Distance from (1, 7) to (7, 7)
→ 6 units
8 units
