Q 25 - Calculus

Question

Find the distance between the points  (-1, 4, -3) and (-4, 3, 1).

Step-by-Step Solution

Answer

The required distance is $\sqrt{26}$

Given information

Given two points  (-1, 4, -3) and (-4, 3, 1).

Finding the distance

The distance between the points may be found as under:

$\sqrt{(-4-{(-1))}^2+{(3-4)}^2+{(1-(-3\left)\right)}^2}$

Simplify:

$\sqrt{9+1+16}$

Simplify further:

$\sqrt{26}$
