Right-triangular prism: b = the base side of the prism's triangular base, h = the perpendicular side of the prism's triangular base L = the length of the prism Right circular cylinder: r = the radius of the cylinder
Cube – , where is the side's length; Cuboid – a b c {\textstyle abc} , where a {\textstyle a} , b {\textstyle b} , and c {\textstyle c} are the sides' length; Cylinder – π r 2 h {\textstyle \pi r^{2}h} , where r {\textstyle r} is the base's radius and h {\textstyle h} is the cone's height;
Etymologically, "cuboid" means "like a cube", in the sense of a convex solid which can be transformed into a cube (by adjusting the lengths of its edges and the angles between its adjacent faces). A cuboid is a convex polyhedron whose polyhedral graph is the same as that of a cube. [1] [2] General cuboids have many different types.
A hexahedron with three pairs of parallel faces; A prism of which the base is a parallelogram; Rhombohedron: A parallelepiped where all edges are the same length; A cube, except that its faces are not squares but rhombi; Cuboid: A convex polyhedron bounded by six quadrilateral faces, whose polyhedral graph is the same as that of a cube [4]
The lateral area, L, of a circular cylinder, which need not be a right cylinder, is more generally given by =, where e is the length of an element and p is the perimeter of a right section of the cylinder. [9] This produces the previous formula for lateral area when the cylinder is a right circular cylinder.
More generally, the lateral surface area of a prism is the sum of the areas of the sides of the prism. [1] This lateral surface area can be calculated by multiplying the perimeter of the base by the height of the prism. [2] For a right circular cylinder of radius r and height h, the lateral area is the area of the side surface of the cylinder ...
where V is the number of vertices, E is the number of edges, and F is the number of faces. This equation is known as Euler's polyhedron formula. Thus the number of faces is 2 more than the excess of the number of edges over the number of vertices. For example, a cube has 12 edges and 8 vertices, and hence 6 faces.
A rectangular cuboid is a convex polyhedron with six rectangle faces. The dihedral angles of a rectangular cuboid are all right angles, and its opposite faces are congruent. [2] By definition, this makes it a right rectangular prism. Rectangular cuboids may be referred to colloquially as "boxes" (after the physical object).
