1) The document is notes from a geometry class that discusses the distance formula and includes examples of using it to find the distance between points on a coordinate plane. 2) Students are assigned homework problems from their textbook and an exit slip problem involving using the distance formula to find the distance between two points. 3) A quiz will be given on Thursday to assess their understanding of the distance formula and related concepts covered in class.
