Answer:
see explanation
Step-by-step explanation:
RS = s-r (s, r are the position vectors of R and S )
RS = (10, - 4, 0 ) - (3, 7, - 1) = (10 - 3, -4 - 7, 0 - (- 1)) = (7, - 11, 1 )
| RS | = [tex]\sqrt{7^2+(-11)^2+1^2}[/tex] = [tex]\sqrt{171}[/tex] = 3[tex]\sqrt{19}[/tex]
Answer:
[tex]| RS | =3\sqrt{19}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given points are R ( 3 ,7, -1 ) and S (10 ,-4, 0)
The distance between R and S
RS = (10 ,-4, 0) - ( 3 ,7, -1 )
= (10 - 3, -4 - 7, 0 - (- 1))
= (7, - 11, 1 )
Magnitude is calculated as:
[tex]| RS | =\sqrt{(7)^{2} + (-11)^{2} + (1)^{2}}[/tex]
[tex]| RS | =\sqrt{49 + 121 + 1}[/tex]
[tex]| RS | =\sqrt{171}[/tex]
[tex]| RS | =3\sqrt{19}[/tex]
