for a point P1 represented as a 3-tuple (x1,y1,z1) or
(-3,2,5)
and another point P2 represented as a 3-tuple
(x2,y2,z2) or (5,-6,2)
the distance from P1 to P2:
for you example this is:
squareroot{ (x1-x2)^2 + (y1-y2)^2 + (z1-z2)^2}
squareroot{ (-3-5)^2 + (2-(-6))^2 + (5-2)^2}
squareroot{ (-8)^2 + (8)^2 + (3)^2}
squareroot{ 64 + 64 + 9}
squareroot{ 137}
11.7
or 11 in integer math
