Answer:
3.0 units
Step-by-step explanation:
Distance between two points:
Suppose that we have two points, [tex](x_1,y_1)[/tex] and [tex](x_2,y_2)[/tex]. The distance between them is given by:
[tex]D = \sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}[/tex]
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.
[tex]D = \sqrt{2^2 + 4^2 + 8^2} = \sqrt{84} = 9.2[/tex]
9.2 units.
Distance of point A to the origin:
[tex]D = \sqrt{5^2 + 3^2 + 2^2} = \sqrt{37} = 6.1[/tex]
How much farther from the origin is point B than point A?
9.2 - 6.1 = 3.1 units
So approximately 3 units.
