This example illustrates points and basic geometric elements in spherical coordinates. Spherical coordinates are a three-dimensional coordinate system that describes points in space using radius, polar angle, and azimuthal angle. The construction summary uses Segment and Angle commands. Suitable for university-level solid geometry and coordinate system studies.

GeoGebra Commands & Parameters

  1. Segment(O, Q) → r
  2. Segment(O, P) → ρ
  3. Segment(Q, P) → c
  4. Angle(ρ, zAxis) → φ
  5. Angle(xAxis, r) → θ
