How can coordinate planes be used in real life?
The Cartesian coordinate plane of x and y works well with many simple situations in real life. For instance, if you are planning where to place different pieces of furniture in a room, you can draw a two-dimensional grid representing the room and use an appropriate unit of measurement.
Why do we use a coordinate plane?
The coordinate plane can be used to plot points and graph lines. This system allows us to describe algebraic relationships in a visual sense, and also helps us create and interpret algebraic concepts.
How do you construct a coordinate plane?
First, we draw two number lines perpendicular to one another, intersecting at the point 0 on both lines. Then, we simply label the horizontal number line as the x-axis and label the vertical number line as the y-axis. There we have it! Our coordinate plane has been created!
How do you use work planes in CAD?
Place work planes at the center of cylindrical shapes and use them to anchor parametric dimensions between cylindrical features. When creating 3D features, place a work point at the intersection of work axes and work planes.
What is a work plane and how to use it?
A work plane can be used as a sketch plane and dimensioned or constrained to other features or components. In an assembly, you can create a work plane between two planar faces on separate components. Each work plane has its own internal coordinate system.
What determines the direction of a work plane?
Each work plane has its own internal coordinate system. The order in which geometry is selected determines the origin and positive directions of the coordinate system axes. In a part, a work plane can be created in-line while you are using another work feature command.
What is the coordinate plane made up of?
The coordinate plane is a two-dimension surface formed by two number lines. One number line is horizontal and is called the x-axis. The other number line is vertical number line and is called the y-axis. The two axes meet at a point called the origin.
