Answer:
Exact distance =
Approximate distance = 7.8102497

Explanation

The two points we focus on are
O = (, , ) = (1,0,2) and S = (, , ) = (6,0,8)

Let's plug those coordinates into the 3D version of the distance formula.

This value is approximate. Round this however needed.

The position of an ant and a spider in a room are A(2,3,5) and S(6,0,8) Determine the distance OS and OA if O is a point in a room represented by O(1,0,2)
To find the distance between A(x1,y1,z1)
and B(x2,y2,z2) , we use the formula:
AB=sqrt((x2−x1)^2+(y2−y1)^2+(z2−z1)^2)
For d(OS)
O(1,0,2), S(6,0,8)
OS=sqrt((6-1)^2+(0-0)^2+(8-2)^2)
= sqrt(5^2+6^2)
= sqrt(61) units
the distance between O and S (OS) is sqrt(61) units.

Similarly find OA
