Calculate the distance between:

(1, 2, 3) and (4, 5, 6)

Also calculate the parametric and symmetric forms

Distance formula for 3-D points

Distance = √(x2 - x1)2 + (y2 - y1)2 + (z2 - z1)2

Distance = √(4 - 1)2 + (5 - 2)2 + (6 - 3)2

Distance = √32 + 32 + 32

Distance = √9 + 9 + 9

Distance = √27

Distance = 5.1961524227066

Parametric Equation Form:

(x,y,z) = (x0,y0,z0) + t(a,b,c)

Plugging in our numbers, we get:

(x,y,z) = (1,2,3) + t(4 - 1,5 - 2,6 - 3)

(x,y,z) = (1,2,3) + t(3,3 ,3)

x = 1 + 3t

y = 2 + 3t

z = 3 + 3t

Symmetric Equation Form:

x - x0
a
=
  
y - y0
b
=
  
z - z0
c

Plugging in our numbers, we get:

x - 1
3
=
  
y - 2
