Formula and explanation
In the 3D Cartesian coordinate system Oxyz, the position of any point P is uniquely determined by an ordered triple of real numbers (x, y, z), where x is the signed distance from point P to the Oyz - plane, y is the signed distance to the Ozx - plane, and z is the signed distance to the Oxy - plane. Applicable Conditions: Applicable to three - dimensional Euclidean space.
