When I create a new plane in Onshape, is there any pattern in the x-axis of this plane?

I want to find the correspondence between the old origin and origin of the newly created plane.Can someone tell me how to calculate the two adjacent sides of a right angled triangle in the diagram?

    I don't think I understand the full question about the triangle. I can't tell which plane it's sketched on. Can you describe your end goal a bit more?

    But the x-axis of the planes can be a bit unpredictable. As I understand it this is actually a math limitation more than a code limitation as demonstrated by the hairy ball theorem. If you look at the images in that link and imagine the "hairs" as the x-axes of all of the possible planes you may see what I mean.
