Three Dimensional Coordinate Geometry
In three dimensions, the formulae for distance and midpoint
are extended. The equations of straight lines are also simple,
but not covered in SL.
Example 1:
a) Find the distance between the points (1, 3, 5) and ( − 2, 3, 0).

b) Find the midpoint of the points (1, 3, 5) and ( − 2, 3, 0).

Example 2:
The distance of the point ( − 4, a, 3a) from the origin is 4160.
Find two possible values of a.
Example 3:
The midpoint of the of the line joining points A(2, p, 8) and B(−6, 5, q) has
coordinates (−2, 3, − 5).
Find the length of line segment [AB].
Surface Area and Volume
These are the formulae that are provided for surface area and volume:
What you need to be able to do:
The syllabus states on page 45:

Volume and surface area of three-dimensional solids

including right-pyramid, right cone, sphere, hemisphere
and combinations of these solids.

In problems related to these topics, students should be able

to identify relevant right-angled triangles in three-
dimensional objects and use them to find unknown lengths
and angles.
Example 4:
Find the surface area of the hemishpere.
Example 5:
Find the surface area and volume of the composite solid.
Example 5:
Find the surface area and volume of the composite solid.
Example 6:
Find the surface area and volume of the pyramid.
Example 6:
Find the surface area and volume of the pyramid.
Example 7:
The diagram shows a solid made by joining a solid
hemisphere to a solid circular cone. The centre of the
plane face of the cone coincides with the centre of the
plane face of the hemisphere.
The radius of the hemisphere is 3 cm. The volume of the solid is 33π cm 3 .
Find the surface area of the solid in terms of π .
