Case Study
We havent got enough boxes for packing the goods.
Can you help them to make a box using cardboard?

Case Study
As shown in the figure below, imagine that we cut
a box along the orange edges and unfold the box.
If we copy the unfolded plane figure onto a piece
of cardboard and reverse the above procedure, we
can fold the piece of cardboard into a box.

4.1 Symmetry of 3-D Figures
A. Reflectional Symmetry
(a) Introduction A 3-D object is said to have
reflectional symmetry if a plane can divide the
object into 2 identical parts which are mirror
images of each other.
Such a plane is called the plane of reflection.

B. Rotational Symmetry
4.1 Symmetry of 3-D Figures
  • Introduction
  • A 3-D figure is said to have rotational symmetry
    if it repeats itself more than once when it is
    rotated about a line in one complete revolution.
    Such a line is called the axis of rotational
    symmetry.

The above cuboid has 2-fold rotational symmetry
or rotational symmetry of order 2 about the line
PQ.

4.2 Nets of 3-D Figures
A net is a 2-D pattern which can be folded into a
solid.
1. There are many different nets for a cube.
2. Each edge will coincide with exactly one other
edge of the net to form a solid.
3. There are totally 11 different nets for a cube.
13
Example 4.1T
4.2 Nets of 3-D Figures
The figure shows an open box. Draw a net of the
box.
Solution
If we cut along the sides and unfold the box, we
can obtain its net.
14
4.2 Nets of 3-D Figures
Example 4.2T
The figure shows a net of a cube. When it is
folded into a cube, what is the face opposite to
face A?
Solution
The face opposite to face A is face E.
15
4.3 2-D Representations of 3-D Figures
A. 3-D Objects in 2-D Views
If we look at an object from different
directions, we can obtain different views.
For example, the following shows different views
of an object below. They are the front, top and
side views.
16
4.3 2-D Representations of 3-D Figures
A. 3-D Objects in 2-D Views
Example 4.3T
Draw the front view, top view and side view of
the solid shown.
Solution
17
B. Sketch 3-D Objects from 2-D Views
4.3 2-D Representations of 3-D Figures
We can sketch 3-D objects from their 2-D views.
When sketching the solid, we may
1. first sketch the solid from the front view,
2. next sketch the solid according to the top
view and the side view,
3. then check the ratio of the lengths of the
sides of the solid.
4. Lastly, find the 3 views from the sketch to
check whether they match the given 2-D
information.

B. Sketch 3-D Objects from 2-D Views
Example 4.4T
The following shows the front view, top view and
side view of a solid. Sketch the solid.
Solution
19
C. Limitation of Plane Figures
4.3 2-D Representations of 3-D Figures
There is a limitation in using 2-D representation
of a solid to figure out the actual solid.
For example, for the front view and side view as
shown, we can obtain many possible solids, such
as
Therefore, the more the views of an object that
are given, the better the shape of the solid we
can obtain.

4.4 Points, Lines and Planes of 3-D Figures
In 2-dimensional space, we learnt that
1. 2 non-parallel lines L1 and L2 would intersect
at a point O with an angle q as shown in the
figure,
2. the perpendicular distance between a point P
and a line L3 is their shortest distance, denoted
by PQ as shown in the figure.
21
A. Angle between a Line and a Plane
4.4 Points, Lines and Planes of 3-D Figures
(a) Projection of a Point on a Plane In the
figure, O is a point on the plane p and V is a
point not on the plane.
If VO is perpendicular to any lines on the plane
(say L1 and L2), then O is called the projection
of point V on the plane.
VO is the shortest distance between point V and
the plane.
In the top view of the figure, point V coincides
with its projection O.
22
A. Angle between a Line and a Plane
4.4 Points, Lines and Planes of 3-D Figures
(b) Angle between a Line and a Plane In the
figure, A is a point on the plane p and the line
AB does not lie on the plane.
If C is the projection of B on the plane, then
AC is the projection of AB on the plane.
q is the angle between AB and the plane.
1. In the top view of the figure, line
AB coincides with its projection AC.
2. If a line not on the plane is parallel
to the plane, then we cannot find the
point of intersection.
23
4.4 Points, Lines and Planes of 3-D Figures
A. Angle between a Line and a Plane
Example 4.5T
The figure shows a cube ABCDHEFG. Write down the
angles between line DF and the following
planes. (a) Plane CDHG (b) Plane BCGF
Solution
(a) ? G is the projection of F on plane CDHG.
? The angle between line DF and plane CDHG is
?FDG.
(b) ? C is the projection of D on plane BCGF.
? The angle between line DF and plane BCGF is
?DFC.
24
B. Angle between Two Planes
4.4 Points, Lines and Planes of 3-D Figures
In the figure, 2 non-parallel planes p1 and p2
intersect and they meet at a line AB which is
called the line of intersection.
To find the angle between 2 planes p1and p2,
1. first construct a perpendicular line PQ of AB
on plane p1, where Q is a point on AB,
2. then through Q, construct a perpendicular line
QR of AB on plane p2.
3. As a result, the required angle is ?PQR.
2 planes are parallel if they do not intersect
even after they are extended.

planes.
? The angle between planes ADHE and EFGH is
?DHG or ?AEF.
(b) ? FG is the line of intersection of the 2
planes.
? The angle between planes ADGF and BCGF is
?DGC or ?AFB.

Q, R, S, T and U are the mid-points of the edges.
Write down the angles between (a) planes PCD and
BCD, (b) planes ABD and ACD.
Solution
(a) ? CD is the line of intersection of the 2
planes, and PT and BT are perpendicular to CD.
? The angle between planes PCD and BCD is ?PTB.
(b) ? AD is the line of intersection of the 2
planes, and CR and BR are perpendicular to AD.
? The angle between planes ABD and ACD is ?CRB.

4.5 Further Exploration on 3-D Figures
A. Eulers Formula
The relationship between the numbers of vertices,
edges and faces of a polyhedron is as follows.
V ? E ? F ? 2
This is called Eulers formula, where V is the
number of vertices, E is the number of edges and
F is the number of faces.

(c) V ? E ? F ? 6 ? 9 ? 5

29
B. Duality of Regular Polyhedra
4.5 Further Exploration on 3-D Figures
In Book 1B Chapter 8, we learnt that there are 5
regular polyhedra
When the number of vertices and the number of
faces of 2 polyhedra are reversed, the 2
polyhedra are called dual polyhedra.
For example
Regular Hexahedron V ? 8, E ? 12, F ? 6
Regular Octahedron V ? 6, E ? 12, F ? 8
30
B. Duality of Regular Polyhedra
4.5 Further Exploration on 3-D Figures
For a dual pair, each vertex of a polyhedron
touches the mid-point of one of the faces of the
other polyhedron as shown in the following figure.
Apart from regular hexahedron and regular
octahedron, can you find another dual pair?
