CBSE Class 11 Maths Notes Chapter 12 Introduction to Three Dimensional Geometry

Introduction To Three Dimensional Geometry Class 11 Notes
Coordinate Axes
In three dimensions, the coordinate axes of a rectangular cartesian coordinate system are three mutually perpendicular lines. These axes are called the X, Y and Z axes.

Coordinate Axes Notes

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.

Coordinates of a Point in Space
The coordinates of a point in the space are the perpendicular distances from P on three mutually perpendicular coordinate 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 any point on

  • X-axis is of the form (x, 0,0)
  • Y-axis is of the form (0, y, 0)
  • Z-axis is of the form (0, 0, z)
  • XY-plane are of the form (x, y, 0)
  • YZ-plane is of the form (0, y, z)
  • ZX-plane are of the form (x, 0, z)

Distance Formula
The distance between two points P(x1, y1, z1) and Q(x2, y2, z2) is given by

The distance of a point P(x, y, z) from the origin O(0, 0, 0) is given by
OP = \(\sqrt { { x }^{ 2 }+{ y }^{ 2 }+{ z }^{ 2 } }\)

Section Formula
The coordinates of the point R which divides the line segment joining two points P(x1, y1, z1) and Q(x2, y2, z2) internally or externally in the ratio m : n are given by
