First find a shop that will sell you 3 dimensional paper; after that it's relatively easy (see details below)

Explanation:

Starting at the origin

  • move color(red)(10) units in the positive color(red)(X) direction;
    then
  • move color(blue)(5) units in the positive color(blue)(Y) direction;
    then
  • move color(green)(2) units in the positive color(green)(Z) direction.

Place a dot in space at this location and label it (color(red)(10),color(blue)(5),color(green)(2))

You should have something that looks like:
