3D Trigonometry Introduction

3D coordinate system illustration

📐 Part 1: 3D Coordinate System Basics

1. The three axes in a 3D coordinate system are perpendicular to each other. What are they called?

X-axis, Y-axis, Z-axis

Length, Width, Height

Horizontal, Vertical, Diagonal

A-axis, B-axis, C-axis

2. A point in 3D space is represented as (x, y, z). Which coordinate represents the vertical position?

x-coordinate

y-coordinate

z-coordinate

All coordinates equally

3. How many octants (regions) are created when the three coordinate planes divide 3D space?

4

6

8

12

4. Plot the following points on the 3D coordinate system below: A(2, 1, 3), B(-1, 2, 0), C(0, -2, 1)

📏 Part 2: Lines, Planes and Angles in 3D

5. Which of the following best describes a plane in 3D space?

A curved surface extending infinitely

A flat 2D surface extending infinitely in 3D space

A line with thickness

A collection of separate points

6. Select all the types of angles we can measure in 3D space:

Angle between two intersecting lines

Angle between a line and a plane

Angle between two planes

Angle between two parallel lines

7. The line joining the origin (0,0,0) to the point (1,1,0) makes what angle with the x-axis?

Angle = _________ degrees

8. Explain in your own words how measuring angles in 3D space differs from measuring angles in 2D space.

🎯 Part 3: Application and Reflection

9. A rectangular room has dimensions 4m × 3m × 2.5m (length × width × height). If you place the origin at one corner on the floor, write the coordinates of all 8 corners of the room.
10. Real-world application: Name two situations where understanding 3D trigonometry would be useful.

Situation 1: _________________________________________________

Situation 2: _________________________________________________

11. Reflection: What is one concept from today's lesson that you found challenging and would like to explore further?
