The two people are 66 feet apart from each other.
How to elaborate the problem ?
The 1st person travels 24 feet west, 18 feet south and 18 feet down.
The location of 1st person is (-24, -18, -18) , the negative sign is to convert all in same direction.
The 2nd person travels 12 feet east, 24 feet north and 12 feet up.
The location of 2nd person is (12, 24, 18)
How to find the distance between them ?
The distance between (-24, -18, -18) & (12, 24, 18 = [tex]\sqrt{(-24-12)^{2}+(-18-24)^{2}+(-18-18)^{2} }[/tex] feet
= [tex]\sqrt{(-36)^{2}+(-42)^{2}+(-36)^{2} }[/tex]) feet
= 66 feet
