Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The distance between two points $(x_1, y_1, z_1)$ and $(x_2, y_2, z_2)$ in 3D space is given by the formula $\sqrt{(x_2 - x_1)^2 + (y_2 - y_1)^2 + (z_2 - z_1)^2}$. Applying this formula to the given points $(1,9,3)$ and $(5,-6,8)$, we get $\sqrt{(5-1)^2 + (-6-9)^2 + (8-3)^2} = \sqrt{16 + 225 + 25} = \sqrt{266}$.
