Question

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

Short answer

The required distance is$\sqrt{26}$

Step-by-step solution

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:

$\sqrt{26}$
