Calculate the distance between:

(2, 4, 6) and (3, 5, 7)

Also calculate the parametric and symmetric forms

Distance formula for 3-D points

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

Distance = √(3 - 2)2 + (5 - 4)2 + (7 - 6)2

Distance = √12 + 12 + 12

Distance = √1 + 1 + 1

Distance = √3

Distance = 1.7320508075689

Parametric Equation Form:

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

Plugging in our numbers, we get:

(x,y,z) = (2,4,6) + t(3 - 2,5 - 4,7 - 6)

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

x = 2 + t

y = 4 + t

z = 6 + t

Symmetric Equation Form:

x - x0
a
=
  
y - y0
b
=
  
z - z0
c

Plugging in our numbers, we get:

x - 2
1
=
  
y - 4
1
=
  
z - 6
