eli5 what is an ordered pair? and an ordered triad?
In: 2
Usually used in the context of coordinate planes. It’s called an ordered pair because it’s a pair of numbers in order. Kind of self-explanatory lol.
In all cases I’m aware of they are ordered (*x,y*). If I had the pair (3,4) you would go 3 in the x axis and 4 in the y, and that’s the point the pair refers to.
An ordered triad would just include the z axis to make three numbers referring to a point in 3d space.
