Question About Calculations

If you've already established Cartesian (XYZ) coordinates for the systems, then you can simply apply the 3D distance formula, being the square root of (x2-x1)^2 + (y2-y1)^2 + (z2-z1)^2. The units will be in whatever you chose for the Cartesian coordinates (meters, feet, AU, light years, parsecs, or whatever). Trigonometry is not required.
