Question

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

Short answer

The required distance is$\sqrt{66}$

Step-by-step solution

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:

$\sqrt{66}$
