Question:
Distance Formula in 2- and 3-Dimensional Space
Explain how to derive the formula for the distance between two points in analytic geometry in 3-space. (list each necessary step and describe all terms used). Also to discuss how the Pythagorean theorem helps to find distances in 2 and 3 dimensions.
Provide at least three examples of how the distance formula can be used in real-life situations.
Include technology functions using a graphing calculator and computer software applications
