Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the distance between the points P(1, 2, 3) and Q(4, 5, 6)?
  • Step 1: Identify the coordinates of point P, which are (1, 2, 3).
  • Step 2: Identify the coordinates of point Q, which are (4, 5, 6).
  • Step 3: Use the distance formula for 3D points: Distance = √((x2 - x1)² + (y2 - y1)² + (z2 - z1)²).
  • Step 4: Substitute the coordinates into the formula: Distance = √((4 - 1)² + (5 - 2)² + (6 - 3)²).
  • Step 5: Calculate each difference: (4 - 1) = 3, (5 - 2) = 3, (6 - 3) = 3.
  • Step 6: Square each difference: (3)² = 9, (3)² = 9, (3)² = 9.
  • Step 7: Add the squared differences: 9 + 9 + 9 = 27.
  • Step 8: Take the square root of the sum: Distance = √(27).
  • Step 9: Simplify √(27) to 3√3.
