– Coordinate Axes and Coordinate Planes in Three Dimensional Space:

In three-dimensional space, the coordinate axes are three mutually perpendicular lines (x, y, and z-axes) that intersect at the origin. The space is divided into eight parts called octants【4:3†source】.

– Points and Octants:

Points in three-dimensional geometry are represented by triplets like (x, y, z), where x, y, and z are the distances from the YZ, ZX, and XY-planes respectively. Different points lie in different octants based on the signs of their coordinates in each octant【4:1†source】.

– Distance between Two Points:

The distance between two points P(x1, y1, z1) and Q(x2, y2, z2) in three-dimensional space is calculated using the formula √((x2 – x1)^2 + (y2 – y1)^2 + (z2 – z1)^2)【4:2†source】.

Students should focus on these key topics from the chapter in the provided file for studying and understanding three-dimensional geometry concepts.
