The important concepts with reference to three-dimensional geometry are direction ratio, direction cosine, distance formula, midpoint formula, and section formula. The 3D geometry makes use of the three coordinates to represent a point. Three Dimensional Geometry - Important Concepts Applicate: In a three-dimensional frame the point is (x, y, z), and the z -coordinate of the point and is referred to as applicate.Ordinate: It is the y value in the point (x, y, z) and is the perpendicular distance of the point from the x-axis, and is parallel to the y-axis.Abscissa: It is the x value in the point (x, y, z) and is the distance of this point along the x-axis, from the origin.Here let us take note of these three important terms. For a three-dimensional frame, the coordinates of a point is (x, y, z).

Here the last alphabets of the alphabetical series are taken or the first alphabets of the word is taken to represent the coordinates of a point.Ī coordinate is an address, which helps to locate a point in space. The origin is denoted by the O and the coordinates of a point is denoted by the point (x, y, z). The examples of a point in a three-dimensional frame is (2, 5, 4). The points in a cartesian coordinate system are written in parentheses, and separated by a comma. Notation of a point in a cartesian coordinate system is a way of presenting a point for easy understanding and calculations.

Similar to the two-dimensional coordinate system, here also the point of intersection of these three axes is the origin O, and these axes divide the space into eight octants.

The three-dimensional cartesian coordinate system consists of three axes, the x-axis, the y-axis, and the z-axis, which are mutually perpendicular to each other and have the same units of length across all three axes. The coordinates of any point in three-dimensional geometry have three coordinates, (x, y, z). The 3d geometry helps in the representation of a line or a plane in a three-dimensional plane, using the x-axis, y-axis, z-axis.
