Distance between (3,13,10) and (3,-17,-1) is 31.95 units.

Explanation:

Distance between two points (x_1,y_1,z_1) and (x_2,y_2,z_2) is given by sqrt((x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2+(z_2-z_1)^2).

Hence distance between (3,13,10) and (3,-17,-1) is

sqrt((3-3)^2+((-17)-13)^2+((-1)-10)^2)=sqrt((0)^2+(-17-13)^2+(-1-10)^2)

= sqrt((0)^2+(-30)^2+(-11)^2)=sqrt(0+900+121)

= sqrt1021=31.95
