Sure thank everyone for the help. I did recheck the way I entered formula
and it was that way in the book. I would never knew to drop the 1/2 and to
use SQRT

a) =((11.1)^2+(-6.1)^2+(-5.25)^2)^(1/2)
b) =SQRT((11.1)^2+(-6.1)^2+(-5.25)^2)
answer is  13.71067102661

You left out the exponent "^" sign before the last exponent of 1/2.  

Also, either put the fractional exponent in parentheses, or use 0.5 instead.  Otherwise, Excel will raise the expression to the first power, and then divide the entire expression by 2.

Or enter the numbers 11.1, 6.1 and 5.25 in A1, A2 and A3
use formula =SQRT(SUMSQ(A1:A3))
best wishes
