Answer to Question #80535 in Physics for EKEMHE MOSES

Question

The 3D coordinates of the position of an object using the Cartesian coordinate system with respect to a certain reference point given as (3m, 5m and 8m).Find the distance along a straight line from the object to the reference point.

Answer 1

The distance along a straight line from the object to the reference point is
d=√(x^2+y^2+z^2 )
d=√(3^2+5^2+8^2 )=9.9 m.
