Question

What is the distance between #(6, 8, 2) `and`(0, 6, 0) #?

Answer 1

The distance is `6.633`.

Explanation:

The distance between two points `(x_1,y_1,z_1)` and `(x_2,y_2,z_2)` is `sqrt((x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2+(z_2-z_1)^2)`.

Hence distance between `(6,8,2)` and `(0,6,0)` is `sqrt((0-6)^2+(6-8)^2+(0-2)^2)` or

`sqrt((-6)^2+(-2)^2+(-2)^2)=sqrt(36+4+4)=sqrt44=6.633`
