Dear Piyai,

One method would be plug the x and z values into the plane equation for the triangle and solve for y, i.e. (off the top of my head, so no guarantee of correctness):

ax + by + cz + d = 0
ax + cz + d = -by
y = -(ax + cz + d) / b

You can easily compute the plane equation for the triangle from its vertices (A, B, and C).
