Frequently Asked Questions
What is the concept of 3D Geometry?
3D Geometry refers to the mathematics of shapes in three dimensional spaces. These shapes comprise three coordinates: x-coordinate, y-coordinate and z-coordinate. In three dimensional spaces there is a requirement of three parameters to find the exact location of a point.
Is 3D Geometry easy in Class 12th?
Class 12th 3D Geometry is considered to be moderately tough and one of the most scoring chapters in mathematics. 3D geometry focuses on lines, planes, angles and three dimensional spaces. The candidate should be thorough with the related formulas to solve the numerical questions and maximize their overall score.
What does 3D mean in Geometry?
In geometry, three dimensional shapes refer to solids that have three dimensions such as length, width and height which is different from two dimensional shapes as they only have two dimensions, length and width. Some examples of three dimensional shapes are: cubical box, ball or a conical hat.
Is 3D Geometry important for JEE Mains?
Yes, 3D Geometry is important for JEE Main for understanding the direction of lines and vectors in 3D spaces. Mastering these concepts is important for solving a variety of numerical problems related to lines and planes. Understanding the concepts of this chapter is especially important for candidates aiming for the B.Arch courses in the top IITs.
What is DC and DR in 3D Geometry?
Direction Cosine (DC) and Direction Ratio (DR):
Direction Cosine is the cosine of the angle made by the line in the three dimensional space with x axis, y axis and z axis.
Direction Ratio helps in knowing the components of a line or a vector with reference to the x axis , y axis and z axis.
