sqrt26~~5.1" to 1 dec. place"

Explanation:

"use the 3-dimensional version of the "color(blue)"distance formula"

•color(white)(x)d=sqrt((x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2+(z_2-z_1)^2)

"let "(x_1,y_1,z_1)=(4,3,1)" and "

(x_2,y_2,z_2)=(0,6,0)

d=sqrt((0-4)^2+(6-3)^2+(0-1)^2)

color(white)(d)=sqrt(16+9+1)=sqrt26~~5.1
