the solution was empty x = [ empty sym ] y = [] z = []
why???????????????????/

Since it is an overdetermined system (more equations than variables) is it a least squars solution you need or what do you mean by solution?

i tried to solve it manually by linearized these equation using Taylor's series and then solve using least square X= inv(A'A) A' L but the results was wrong i see the probelm in manual solution is the linearization step and the large estimation process so i want to find x y z using software

Look in the documentation for the function lsqnonlin
It can solve nonlinear least squares problems.
