What Would Be The Coordinates Of The Center Of The Hole In The Paper For The Following?
If a piece of paper is a plane in the X & Y axes & the Z axis is a pencil that is stabbed straight down through the paper at the point where the X & Y axes meet, then the coordinates of the center of the hole in the paper are what?
(1,0,1)?
The truth is the origin does not have to be at 0,0,0. The axis are on a graph to provide reference axis, and scales.
But I suppose your teacher is thinking origin as 0,0,0.
Such is life, and we engineers and scientists have to bite our toungue when near math teachers.
4 girls of track team ran the 4-by-100 meter relay in a total of 46.8. what was the average time for each runne?
I would divide the total by 4.
so the answer would be (0,0,0)
Yes, Jen. I bite my lip.

To determine the coordinates of the center of the hole in the paper, we can use the information given about the plane formed by the X and Y axes and the position of the pencil as it stabs through the paper.
In this case, we have a pencil stabbed straight down through the paper at the point where the X and Y axes meet. Since the pencil is stabbed straight down, it passes through the paper perpendicular to the plane formed by the X and Y axes. Therefore, the Z-coordinate of the center of the hole in the paper is the same as the Z-coordinate of the point where the pencil is located.
Given that the point where the pencil is located has coordinates (1, 0, 1), we can conclude that the center of the hole in the paper will also have coordinates (1, 0, 1).
