  2. Pyramid (geometry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pyramid_(geometry)

    Given that is the base's area and is the height of a pyramid, the volume of a pyramid is: [29] =. The volume of a pyramid was recorded back in ancient Egypt, where they calculated the volume of a square frustum, suggesting they acquainted the volume of a square pyramid. [30]

  3. Hexagonal pyramid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hexagonal_pyramid

    A hexagonal pyramid has seven vertices, twelve edges, and seven faces. One of its faces is hexagon, a base of the pyramid; six others are triangles. Six of the edges make up the pentagon by connecting its six vertices, and the other six edges are known as the lateral edges of the pyramid, meeting at the seventh vertex called the apex.

  4. List of centroids - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_centroids

    The following is a list of centroids of various two-dimensional and three-dimensional objects. The centroid of an object in -dimensional space is the intersection of all hyperplanes that divide into two parts of equal moment about the hyperplane.

  5. Platonic solid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Platonic_solid

    In geometry, a Platonic solid is a convex, regular polyhedron in three-dimensional Euclidean space.Being a regular polyhedron means that the faces are congruent (identical in shape and size) regular polygons (all angles congruent and all edges congruent), and the same number of faces meet at each vertex.

  6. Tetrahedron - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tetrahedron

    The volume of a tetrahedron can be obtained in many ways. It can be given by using the formula of the pyramid's volume: =. where is the base' area and is the height from the base to the apex. This applies for each of the four choices of the base, so the distances from the apices to the opposite faces are inversely proportional to the areas of ...

  7. Method of exhaustion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Method_of_exhaustion

    Proposition 11: The volume of a cone (or cylinder) of the same height is proportional to the area of the base. [6] Proposition 12: The volume of a cone (or cylinder) that is similar to another is proportional to the cube of the ratio of the diameters of the bases. [7] Proposition 18: The volume of a sphere is proportional to the cube of its ...

  8. Polyhedron - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polyhedron

    A square pyramid and the associated abstract polytope. Here, the elements of a square pyramid can be defined as the partially ordered set. One modern approach is based on the theory of abstract polyhedra. These can be defined as partially ordered sets whose elements are the vertices, edges, and faces of a polyhedron. A vertex or edge element is ...

  9. Truncated tetrahedron - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Truncated_tetrahedron

    Given the edge length .The surface area of a truncated tetrahedron is the sum of 4 regular hexagons and 4 equilateral triangles' area, and its volume is: [2] =, =.. The dihedral angle of a truncated tetrahedron between triangle-to-hexagon is approximately 109.47°, and that between adjacent hexagonal faces is approximately 70.53°.
