Key Topics to Revise

1

Three-Dimensional Coordinate System

  • A point in 3D space is represented by three coordinates (x, y, z)
  • The coordinate system consists of three mutually perpendicular axes: X, Y, and Z
  • Three coordinate planes divide space into 8 octants
2

Distance Between Two Points in 3D Space

  • Distance formula extends the 2D formula to include the third dimension
  • Always gives a positive value (absolute distance)
  • Can be used to prove geometric properties like equilateral triangles
3

Section Formula and Division of Line Segment

  • A point can divide a line segment internally or externally
  • Internal division: point lies between the two given points
  • External division: point lies outside the line segment
4

Direction Cosines and Direction Ratios

  • Direction cosines are cosines of angles a line makes with coordinate axes
  • Sum of squares of direction cosines equals 1
  • Direction ratios are proportional to direction cosines
