"the distance between "(-6,3,4)" and "(-2,2,6)" is "sqrt(21)" units"

Explanation:

"distance between "A(x_1,y_1,z_1) " and " B(x_2,y_2,z_2) " is calculated using :"

d=sqrt((x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2+(z_2-z_1)^2

"for "A(-6,3,4)" and "B(-2,2,6)

d=sqrt((-2-(-6))^2+(2-3)^2+(6-4)^2)

d=sqrt((-2+6)^2+(-1)^2+(2)^2)

d=sqrt(16+1+4)

d=sqrt(21)
