Geometrical significance of X

coordinate, Y coordinate, and

Z coordinate in space.
Hridyanshu Singh Roy, XI B
 This presentation is going to be
discussing the geometrical significance of
X, Y, and Z coordinate in space. Using the
information we find from the
aforementioned question, I have to find
the distance of the point in space from the
x-axis/y-axis/z-axis.
 Coordinate geometry refers to the study of
algebraic equations on graphs.
It is an important subject needed to offer a
connection between algebra and geometry with
the use of graphs of lines and curves. It is an
essential branch of math that assists us in
locating points in a plane or space. Moreover, it
also has many uses in fields of trigonometry,
calculus, dimensional geometry and more.
 Three-dimensional space can also be known as 3-space or tri-
dimensional space. It is a geometric setting that contains three
values that are required to determine the position of an
element. In physics and mathematics, a sequence of n numbers
can be understood as a location in n-dimensional space. When
n = 3 it is called three-dimensional Euclidean space.
It is commonly represented by the symbol ℝ3. This acts as a
three-parameter model of the physical universe in which all
known matter exists. This space is only one example of a large
space in three dimensions called 3-manifolds. In this case,
these three values are chosen from the terms width, height,
depth, and length.
 In real life, geometry is used everywhere. E.g. it
is used in building various monuments. It is also
used to locate the position of aircraft in space.

Coordinate geometry is also used in developing

various games which specify the location of the
object.

Coordinate geometry is also used in describing

maps that we see in our mobile phones and
computers to locate the position.
The geometric significance of a
3 point coordinate system
consisting of X, Y and Z axis
 Let point p have coordinates p(x,y,z)

By a geometrical diagram, It is clear that any point p

of (x,y,z) location represents a vertex element in
space.
An X, Y, Z coordinate system helps us represent a
point in 3D space.
This form of vertex mapping holds great significance
in architecture, interior design, geolocation tracking,
game making, measuring orbits and planetary
motions etc.

 Distance of a point in space
from X axis, Y axis and Z axis
Point p(x,y,z) and any point on the X-axis A (x,0,0)
Distance of pA = √(x - x)^2 + (y - 0)^2 + (z - 0)^2 = √y^2 + z^2
P (x,y,z) and any point on y and z axis are B (0,y,0) and C (0,0,z)
respectively

∴pB = √(x - 0)^2 + (y - y)^2 + (z - 0)^2 = √x^2 + z^2

∴pC = √(x - 0)^2 + (y - 0)^2 + (z - z)^2 = √x^2 + y^2

Hence, Distance of the point p in space from X, Y, Z axis are (√y^2 + z^2,
√x^2 + z^2, √x^2 + y^2)
