The location of a monkey in its coordinate space enclosure is expressed as the ordered triple M (−8, 0, 0). A treat has been hidden in the same enclosure at a location expressed as T (0, 0, 6).
If each unit on the graph measures 1 foot, how far is the monkey from the treat? (Hint: The Pythagorean theorem can be used because the x-axis, y-axis, and z-axis each intersect at a right angle.)
