Question

what is the distance between point A and B ?

Answer 1

Figure out the \((x,y,z)\) coordinates for each point.
Then use the distance formula: \[
\overline{P_1P_2} = \sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2+(z_2-z_1)^2}
\]

Answer 2

I don't know how to find the points coordinates though since they're not exactly placed right

Answer 3

Point A is \((2,2,3)\)

Answer 4

Count the number of units in the \(x\) direction, then the number in the \(y\) direction, then in the \(z\) direction.

Answer 5

so is point A.. X >?

Answer 6

\(A\) is 3 up, so \(z=3\)

Answer 7

2 to the left, so \(x=2\)

Answer 8

And 2 to the right so \(y=2\)

Answer 9

Use the guide lines.

Answer 10

is point B.. (3,2,8)

Answer 11

Oh wait... you're write the axis are messed up... I was wrong.

Answer 12

yeah haha see!

Answer 13

All that matters though is that you subtract the x's, the y's and the z's.
So even if you pick the wrong axis, as long as you're consistent.

Answer 14

and that tells me the distance between them ?
