C.1 Geometry and Trigonometry

3D geometry — distance, midpoint, surface area, volume of solids; angles between lines and planes. The full triangle toolkit: SOH-CAH-TOA, sine and cosine rules, and triangle area. Real applications — bearings, angles of elevation/depression. Circle arc length and sector area. Voronoi diagrams for nearest-neighbour interpolation — the spatial-AI showpiece of the syllabus.
