The formula for calculating the distance between two points is:
d = ( x 2 - x 1 ) 2 + ( y 2 - y 1 ) 2 + ( z 2 - z 1 ) 2
Substituting the values from the points in the problem and calculating gives:
d = ( 5 - 3 ) 2 + ( - 8 + 2 ) 2 + ( - 16 + 12 ) 2
d = 2 2 + ( - 6 ) 2 + ( - 4 ) 2
d = 4 + 36 + 16
d = 56 = 7.48 rounded to the nearest hundblackth.
