Understanding 3D Distance
What is 3D Distance?
The distance between two points in three-dimensional space can be calculated using the distance formula. Key properties include:
- Defined by coordinates (X, Y, Z)
- Distance formula: \( d = \sqrt{(x_2 - x_1)^2 + (y_2 - y_1)^2 + (z_2 - z_1)^2} \)
- Useful in various fields such as physics, engineering, and computer graphics
Key Formulas
Distance Formula:
d = √((x2 - x1)² + (y2 - y1)² + (z2 - z1)²)
