(7,2,9) , (10,1,1)
Step 1
To find the distance between two 3d points, square the difference of the x, y, and z points. Then, sum them and take the square root.
√(x2-x1)2+(y2-y1)2+(z2-z1)2
Step 2
Replace x1, x2, y1, y2, z1, and z2 with the corresponding values.
Distance=√(10-7)2+(1-2)2+(1-9)2
Step 3
Step 3.1
Subtract 7 from 10.
Distance=√32+(1-2)2+(1-9)2
Step 3.2
Raise 3 to the power of 2.
Distance=√9+(1-2)2+(1-9)2
Step 3.3
Subtract 2 from 1.
Distance=√9+(-1)2+(1-9)2
Step 3.4
Raise -1 to the power of 2.
Distance=√9+1+(1-9)2
Step 3.5
Subtract 9 from 1.
Distance=√9+1+(-8)2
Step 3.6
Raise -8 to the power of 2.
Distance=√9+1+64
Step 3.7
Add 9 and 1.
Distance=√10+64
Step 3.8
Add 10 and 64.
Distance=√74
Distance=√74
Step 4
The distance between (7,2,9) and (10,1,1) is √74.
√74≈8.60232526
