Calculate the approximate distance point A (5,3, -2) and point B (2, -4, 8) are from the origin. Round to the nearest tenth.
How much farther from the origin is point B than point A?
3.0 units
3.7 units
4.7 units
O 5.7 units

3.0 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Distance between two points:

Suppose that we have two points, and . The distance between them is given by:

Origin:

The origin is given by point (0,0,0).

Distance of point B to the origin:

Since the origin is all 0, just put the points into the square root.

9.2 units.

Distance of point A to the origin:

How much farther from the origin is point B than point A?

9.2 - 6.1 = 3.1 units

So approximately 3 units.
