Spherical Coordinates by Pedro Morales-Almazan
Loading the math board and drawing, please wait…
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.
