What is the distance from the point (a, −b, −4) to the origin?

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance (d) between two points in 3 dimensions is ...

  d = √((x2 -x1)² +(y2 -y1)² +(z2 -z1)²)

Then the distance between (a, -b, -4) and (0, 0, 0) is ...

  d = √((a -0)² +(-b -0)² +(-4 -0)²)

  = √(a² +b² +16)

Step-by-step explanation:

I am not sure what you meant by diagram but this is how you evaluate
