10 resources3D Pythagoras: Exercise
Lengths in 3D with Pythagoras: diagonals of a cuboid and of prisms, the height, a sloping edge or a side of a pyramid, lengths to midpoints, then several steps (a pyramid on a cuboid, working back from a space diagonal). Answers…
⚙️ Worksheet3D Trigonometry
Cuboids and right pyramids: Pythagoras twice, the angle between two lines (cuboid, then pyramid), the angle between a line and a plane or between two planes (cuboid, then pyramid), the sine and cosine rules in 3D, then pyramids…
⚙️ Worksheet3D Trigonometry: Exercise
Name the angle, then find it: the angle between a line and a plane in a cuboid, a prism and a pyramid, with midpoints, then the angle between two planes (vertices only, through midpoints, and with lengths given as a ratio).…
⚙️ WorksheetNaming Angles and Planes
Naming angles with three letters (the vertex in the middle), triangles, quadrilaterals and planes: in 2D figures, then the faces and planes that cut through cuboids, prisms and pyramids, angles with edges and diagonals, and with…
