Also known as plane shapes, they can be plotted in a graph on the x and yaxes. Students need to identify the 2d shape or 3d shape from a g. In this live grade 12 maths show we take a look at trigonometry 2d and 3d triangles. A branch of mathematics which talks about the length, volume or area of different geometric shapes is called mensuration.
It is much easier to use vectors to solve 2dimensional collision problems than to use trigonometry.
