3D Distance Formula Calculator Program

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on creating a 3D Distance Formula Calculator program for the TI-84 calculator. The formula for calculating the distance between two points in three-dimensional space is defined as √((x1 - x0)² + (y1 - y0)² + (z1 - z0)²). Users are encouraged to implement this formula in their TI-84 programming environment to extend the capabilities of their existing distance calculator. This enhancement allows for accurate distance calculations in three dimensions, which is essential for various applications in mathematics and physics.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of the 3D Distance Formula
  • Familiarity with TI-84 programming syntax
  • Basic knowledge of mathematical concepts involving coordinates

Hello. I have the distance formula programmed into my calculator and I searched for a distance formula that includes the z-axis but I couldn't find any. Does anyone know how to make such a program for the TI-84?

Thank you.

It's just the obvious extension of the two dimensional formula:
The distanct from (x_0, y_0, z_0) to (x_1, y_1, z_1) is
\sqrt{(x_1- x_0)^2+ (y_1- y_0)^2+ (z_1- z_0)^2}
