Math Problem Statement

Mark the following points on the 3D figure: P(0,0,2), Q(0,2,2), R(2,1,2), S(-2,-1,2).

Solution

The problem asks to mark the points P(0,0,2)P(0,0,2), Q(0,2,2)Q(0,2,2), R(2,1,2)R(2,1,2), and S(2,1,2)S(-2,-1,2) on the 3D coordinate system shown in the image.

Here’s where each point lies in 3D space:

  1. Point P(0,0,2)P(0,0,2):

    • x=0x = 0, y=0y = 0, z=2z = 2.
    • This point lies on the z-axis at height z=2z = 2.
  2. Point Q(0,2,2)Q(0,2,2):

    • x=0x = 0, y=2y = 2, z=2z = 2.
    • This point is 2 units along the positive y-axis and 2 units above on the z-axis.
  3. Point R(2,1,2)R(2,1,2):

    • x=2x = 2, y=1y = 1, z=2z = 2.
    • Move 2 units along the x-axis, 1 unit along the y-axis, and 2 units up on the z-axis.
  4. Point S(2,1,2)S(-2,-1,2):

    • x=2x = -2, y=1y = -1, z=2z = 2.
    • Move 2 units along the negative x-axis, 1 unit along the negative y-axis, and 2 units up.

If you'd like, I can draw or describe the points further. Let me know if you'd like more detail or if something specific needs clarification.

Would you like help with further details or marking them?

Tip:

In 3D geometry, the z-axis usually represents height or depth, while the x-axis and y-axis represent horizontal and vertical positioning.
