Coordinates (x1,y1,z1) = (15.34, 1.15, 0.19), (x2,y2,z2) = (-15.34, 1.15, 0.19) Answer is 30.69 but the java code above showing 15.34? – Balaram M Apr 05 '16 at 00:54

I rolled back all your changes since the very first version. There was an answer to that, so you're not allowed to drastically change the question into a new one. Create a new post, if you have a new question. – Tom Apr 05 '16 at 01:30
