sqrt(94)

Explanation:

The distance formula between two points in 2D is sqrt((x_1-x_0)^2+(y_1-y_0)^2.

The distance formula between two points in 3D is similar: sqrt((x_1-x_0)^2+(y_1-y_0)^2+(z_1-z_0)^2).

We just need to substitute the values in: sqrt((x_1-x_0)^2+(y_1-y_0)^2+(z_1-z_0)^2)=sqrt((-9-(-6))^2+(10-3)^2+(2-(-4))^2)=sqrt(94).
