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 gives:
d = ( 12 - 3 ) 2 + ( - 11 + 4 ) 2 + ( 6 - 15 ) 2
d = 9 2 + ( - 7 ) 2 + ( - 9 ) 2
d = 211
or
d = 14.526 rounded to the nearest thousandth.
