Default Point Inside A triangle

Iwonder if somebody can help me please

I have a triangle defined by three vertices(X, Y, Z). Inside this triangle I have another point (X, Y). Now, I need a formula to calculate the height (Z) of the point inside the triangle using the coordinates (X,Y,Z) of the vertices.

I have been using least squares adjustment, but have found that the bigger the triangle is, the less accurate the Z coordinate becomes.

Anybody?

Thanks
Michael
