Q 24 - Calculus

Question

Find the distance between points  (3, 0, -1) and (2, -8, 0).

Step-by-Step Solution

Answer

The required distance is $\sqrt{66}$

Given information

The given points are  (3, 0, -1) and (2, -8, 0).

Finding the distance

The distance between the given two points can be found as under:

$\sqrt{{(2-3)}^2+{(-8-0)}^2+{(0-(-1\left)\right)}^2}$

Simplify:

$\sqrt{1+64+1}$

Further simplifying:

$\sqrt{66}$
