Abstract
Cartesian coordinate is the most popular coordinate systems compared to polar, cylindrical, and spherical coordinates. This coordinate system is the foundation of analytic geometry, and it has been extensively used in many disciplines such as physics, engineering, astronomy, and many more. In this work, we represent the location of the main part of an Islamic architecture in the East Coast of Malaysia in terms of Cartesian coordinate. The results show that the center of the dome is located at point (0, 0, z 0) with the prayer hall considered as the xy-plane. The Cartesian equations of other boundary in the main part of the Islamic architecture are also formulated.
