Calculate the distance between:
(1, 2, 3) and (7, 5, 5)
Also calculate the parametric and symmetric forms
Distance = √(x2 - x1)2 + (y2 - y1)2 + (z2 - z1)2
Distance = √(7 - 1)2 + (5 - 2)2 + (5 - 3)2
Distance = √62 + 32 + 22
Distance = √36 + 9 + 4
Distance = √49
Distance = 7
(x,y,z) = (x0,y0,z0) + t(a,b,c)
(x,y,z) = (1,2,3) + t(7 - 1,5 - 2,5 - 3)
(x,y,z) = (1,2,3) + t(6,3 ,2)
x = 1 + 6t
y = 2 + 3t
z = 3 + 2t
