Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The distance between two points 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 $P_1(8, 5, -1)$ and $P_2(9, 6, -2)$, we get $\sqrt{(9-8)^2 + (6-5)^2 + (-2+1)^2} = \sqrt{1 + 1 + 1} = \sqrt{3}$.
