  2. Right circular cylinder - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Right_circular_cylinder

    The lateral surface of a right cylinder is the meeting of the generatrices. [3] It can be obtained by the product between the length of the circumference of the base and the height of the cylinder. Therefore, the lateral surface area is given by: =. [2] Where: represents the lateral surface area of the cylinder; is approximately 3.14;

    The area of the side is known as the lateral area, L. An open cylinder does not include either top or bottom elements, and therefore has surface area (lateral area) = The surface area of the solid right circular cylinder is made up the sum of all three components: top, bottom and side.

  7. Lateral surface - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lateral_surface

    The lateral surface area is the area of the lateral surface. This is to be distinguished from the total surface area, which is the lateral surface area together with the areas of the base and top. For a cube the lateral surface area would be the area of the four sides. If the edge of the cube has length a, the area of one square face Aface = a ...

  8. Dose–response relationship - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dose–response_relationship

    A dose–response curve is a coordinate graph relating the magnitude of a dose (stimulus) to the response of a biological system. A number of effects (or endpoints) can be studied. The applied dose is generally plotted on the X axis and the response is plotted on the Y axis. In some cases, it is the logarithm of the dose that is plotted on the ...
