Key Topics to Revise

1

Coordinate System in 3D Space

  • Three perpendicular axes (X, Y, Z) intersecting at origin O(0,0,0)
  • Any point P in space has coordinates (x, y, z) representing distances from YZ, ZX, and XY planes respectively
  • Right-hand rule: Curl fingers from positive X to positive Y, thumb points to positive Z
2

Distance Formula in 3D Space

  • Extension of 2D distance formula using Pythagorean theorem in 3D
  • Always results in positive value (distance cannot be negative)
  • Used to find lengths of line segments, diagonals, and verify geometric properties
3

Section Formula in 3D

  • Extends 2D section formula to find coordinates of point dividing line segment in given ratio
  • Two types: Internal division (point lies between given points) and External division (point lies outside)
  • Internal division uses (m+n) in denominator, external division uses (m-n)
4

Centroid of Triangle

  • Centroid is the point where three medians of triangle intersect
  • Divides each median in ratio 2:1 from vertex
  • Always lies inside the triangle
