320 Three Dimensional Co-ordinate Geometry
System of Co-ordinates
7.1 Co-ordinates of a Point in Space.
(1) Cartesian Co-ordinates : Let O be a fixed point, known as origin and let OX, OY and OZ be three mutually
perpendicular lines, taken as x-axis, y-axis and z-axis respectively, in such a way that they form a right-handed system.
Z
C E
k
F j P(x, y, z)
O Y

A D
X
The planes XOY, YOZ and ZOX are known as xy-plane, yz-plane and zx-plane respectively.
Let P be a point in space and distances of P from yz, zx and xy-planes be x, y, z
Z
respectively (with proper signs), then we say that co-ordinates of P are (x, y, z). Y
Also OA = x, OB = y, OC = z. O
X X
The three co-ordinate planes (XOY, YOZ and ZOX) divide space into eight parts and
these parts are called octants. Y Z
Signs of co-ordinates of a point : The signs of the co-ordinates of a point in three dimension follow the convention
that all distances measured along or parallel to OX, OY, OZ will be positive and distances moved along or parallel to OX,
OY, OZ will be negative.
The following table shows the signs of co-ordinates of points in various octants :
Octant OXYZ OXYZ OXYZ OXYZ OXYZ OXYZ OXYZ OXYZ

x + – + – + – + –
y + + – – + + – –
z + + + + – – – –
(2) Other methods of defining the position of any point P in space :
(i) Cylindrical co-ordinates : If the rectangular cartesian co-ordinates of P are (x, y, z), then those of N are (x, y, 0)
and we can easily have the following relations : x = u cos, y = u sin and z = z.
Hence, u 2 x 2 y 2 and tan 1 (y / x ) . Z Y

(ii) Spherical polar co-ordinates : The measures of quantities r, , are known as spherical or three dimensional
polar co-ordinates of the point P. If the rectangular cartesian co-ordinates of P are (x, y, z) then
z = r cos, u = r sin x = u cos = r sin cos, y = u sin = r sin sin and z = r cos
u x 2 y2 y
Also r 2 x 2 y 2 z 2 and tan ; tan
z z x
Note : The co-ordinates of a point on xy-plane is (x, y, 0), on yz-plane is (0, y, z) and on zx-plane is (x, 0,
z)
The co-ordinates of a point on x-axis is (x, 0, 0), on y-axis is (0, y, 0) and on z-axis is (0, 0, z)
Position vector of a point : Let i , j, k be unit vectors along OX, OY and OZ respectively. Then position
vector of a point P(x, y, z) is OP x i y j zk .
7.2 Distance Formula.
(1) Distance formula : The distance between two points A(x 1 , y 1 , z 1 ) and B(x 2 , y 2 , z 2 ) is given by
AB [(x 2 x 1 )2 (y 2 y 1 )2 (z 2 z 1 )2 ]
(2) Distance from origin : Let O be the origin and P(x, y, z) be any point, then OP (x 2 y 2 z 2 ) .
(3) Distance of a point from co-ordinate axes : Let P(x, y, z) be any point in the space. Let PA, PB and PC
be the perpendiculars drawn from P to the axes OX, OY and OZ respectively.

Then, PA (y 2 z 2 ) P(x,y,z)

Solution: (c) Let the points be A(5, –4, 2), B(4, –3, 1), C(7, –6, 4) and D(8, –7, 5).
AB 1 1 1 3 , CD 1 1 1 3 , BC 9 9 9 3 3 , AD 9 9 9 3 3
Length of diagonals AC 4 4 4 2 3 , BD 16 16 16 4 3
i.e., AC BD
Hence, A, B, C, D are vertices of a parallelogram

(2) Section formula for external division : Let P(x 1 , y 1 , z 1 ) and Q(x 2 , y 2 , z 2 ) be two points, and let R be a
point on PQ produced, dividing it externally in the ratio m 1 : m 2 (m 1 m 2 ) . Then the co-ordinates of R are
m1 x 2 m 2 x 1 m1 y 2 m 2 y1 m1 z 2 m 2 z1

Note : Co-ordinates of the midpoint : When division point is the mid-point of PQ then ratio will be
