Learning target: You know the definitions of the distance, angle and intersection between standard geometric elements. You know what "perpendicular" means and what data is required for calculating the distance, angle and intersection between prismatic and rotationally symmetrical geometric elements.

Geometric elements, apart from their own extension, direction and position, can be related to other geometric elements.

A distinction is made between ...

the distance between two geometric elements
the angle between two geometric elements
the intersection between two geometric elements
the symmetry of two geometric elements
the connection of several geometric elements
