What Are Introduction Of Three Dimensional Geometry ?
Coordinate Axes
In three-dimensions, the coordinate axes of a rectangular Cartesian coordinate system are three mutually perpendicular lines. The axes are called the X, Y and Z axes.
Coordinate Planes
The three planes determined by the pair of axes are the coordinate planes. These planes are called XY, YZ and ZX plane and they divide the space into eight regions known as octants.
Coordinate Of A Point In Space
The coordinates of a point P in the space are the perpendicular distances from P on three mutually perpendicular coordinates planes YZ, ZX and XY respectively. The coordinates of a point P are written in the form of triplet like (x, y, z).
The coordinates of the origin are O(0, 0, 0). The coordinate of any point on the X-axis will be as (x, 0, 0) and the coordinates of any point in the YZ plane will be as (0, y, z).
Distance Between Two Points
The distance between two points P(x1 , y1 , z1) and Q(x2 , y2 , z2) is given by
$$\text{PQ} =\\\sqrt{(x_{2}-x_{1})^{2} + (y_{2}-y_{1})^{2} + (z_{2} - z_{1})^{2}}$$
The distance of a point P(x, y, z) from the origin O(0, 0, 0) is given by
$$\text{OP =}\sqrt{x^{2} + y^{2} + z^{2}}$$
Section Formula
The coordinates of a point R which divides the lin e segment joining two points P(x1, y1 , z1) and Q(x2 , y2 , z2) internally and externally in the ratio m : n are given by
$$\bigg(\frac{mx_{2} +nx_{1}}{m+n},\frac{my_{2} +ny_{1}}{m+n},\\\frac{mz_{2} + nz_{1}}{m+n}\bigg)\\\text{and}\\\bigg(\frac{mx_{2}-nx_{1}}{m-n},\frac{my_{2}-ny_{1}}{m-n},\\\frac{mz_{2}-nz_{1}}{m-n}\bigg)\\\text{respectively}.$$
Coordinates Of Mid-point
The coordinates of mid-point of the line segment joining two points (x1 , y1 , z1) and (x2 , y2, z2 ) are
$$\bigg(\frac{x_{2} + x_{1}}{2},\frac{y_{2} + y_{1}}{2},\frac{Z_{2} + Z_{1}}{2}\bigg)$$
The coordinates of centroid of the triangle whose vertices are (x1 , y1 , z1), (x2 , y2 , z2) and (x3, y3 , z3) are
$$\bigg(\frac{x_1 + x_{2} + x_{3}}{3},\frac{y_1 + y_{2} + y_{3}}{3},\\\frac{z_1 + z_{2} + z_{3}}{3}\bigg)$$
