Question

What is the distance from the point (−3, −b, c) to the origin?

Answer 1

A

Explanation:

Answer 2

`√(9+b^2+c^2)\,\text{units}`

Explanation:

The distance formula tells you the distance d between the points (0, 0, 0) and (-3, -b, c) is ...

d = √((x2 -x1)² +(y2 -y1)² +(z2 -z1)²) = √((-3-0)² +(-b-0)² +(c-0)²)

= √(9 +b² +c²)
