Question

What is the distance between begin ordered pair 8 comma negative 3 comma 4 end ordered pair and begin ordered pair 6 comma negative 4 comma 1 end ordered pair? Round to the nearest tenth of a unit.

Answer 1

Answer:

$d = \sqrt{14} = 3.74...$

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the distance between (8, -3, 4) and (6, -4, 1), use the distance formula for (x,y,z) points. It is very similar to (x,y) points.

$d = \sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2 + (y_2-y_1)^2 + (z_2 - z_1)^2} \\d = \sqrt{(8 - 6)^2 + (-3--4)^2 + (4-1)^2} \\d = \sqrt{(2)^2 + (1)^2 + (3)^2} \\d = \sqrt{4 + 1 + 9}\\ d = \sqrt{14} = 3.74...$
