Explore the geometry of shapes and spaces through orthogonal projections, coordinates, and classic surfaces, with clear steps you can follow.

In this edition, you’ll see how points, lines, and planes relate when viewing objects from different angles. The text explains how to project lines and areas onto coordinate planes, and how those projections reveal the true shape of the original figure. It builds a practical toolkit for understanding three‑dimensional geometry with concrete formulas and worked examples.

Topics covered include how to measure distances between points, how a line’s direction relates to the three axes, and how to describe planes and surfaces using coordinates. The material moves from basic projections to the geometry of ellipsoids, hyperboloids, and paraboloids, showing how sections by coordinate planes produce recognizable shapes.

How to compute projections of lines and areas onto coordinate planes
Direction cosines for lines and planes and their use in locating shapes in space
Formulas for distances between points and for the equations of common surfaces
Characterizations of ellipsoids, hyperboloids, and paraboloids via cross‑sections

Ideal for readers of introductory solid geometry, engineering students, and anyone needing a practical grasp of 3D relationships using coordinates.
