We are given two points in 3 .
Let's find a vector that connects these two points, then compute the length of that vector.
[ 3 , - 1 , 1 ] - [ - 1 , 4 , - 2 ]
= [ ( 3 - ( - 1 ) , ( - 1 ) - 4 , 1 - ( - 2 ) ]
= [ 4 , - 5 , 3 ]
Now the length of this vector is:
4 2 + ( - 5 ) 2 + 3 2 = 16 + 25 + 9
= 50 = 25 2 = 25 2 = 5 2
