SAT Strategies
Pro Tips & Shortcuts
🎯
SAT Tip: Always write coordinates as (x, y) - x first, then y.
🎯
SAT Tip: This is just the Pythagorean theorem applied to coordinates.
🎯
SAT Tip: Midpoint is just the average of the coordinates.
🎯
SAT Tip: This is a 3-4-5 right triangle! Horizontal: 3, Vertical: 4, Hypotenuse: 5.
🎯
SAT Tip: Average each coordinate separately.
⚡ Shortcut
Remember: x is horizontal (like a cross), y is vertical (like why ask).
⚡ Shortcut
For horizontal/vertical lines, you can just subtract coordinates directly.
⚡ Shortcut
Add the x's and divide by 2, add the y's and divide by 2.
⚡ Shortcut
Recognize Pythagorean triples to avoid calculation.
⚡ Shortcut
Check: (5,8) should be halfway between (2,5) and (8,11).
