Square of distance between two points for JEE
Coordinates of a point in space, the distance between two points, section formula
Formula
\(PQ^2=(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2+(z_2-z_1)^2\)
Variables: \(P(x_1,y_1,z_1),\ Q(x_2,y_2,z_2)\).
Avoiding square roots in equality/comparison problems, proving perpendicularity or midpoint relations.
