  2. 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 ...

    Alternatively, the area can be calculated by dividing the kite into two congruent triangles and applying the SAS formula for their area. If a {\displaystyle a} and b {\displaystyle b} are the lengths of two sides of the kite, and θ {\displaystyle \theta } is the angle between, then the area is [ 26 ] A = a b ⋅ sin ⁡ θ . {\displaystyle ...

  4. Tetrahedral kite - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tetrahedral_kite

    A tetrahedral kite is a multicelled rigid box kite composed of tetrahedrally shaped cells to create a kind of tetrahedral truss. The cells are usually arranged in such a way that the entire kite is also a regular tetrahedron. The kite can be described as a compound dihedral kite as well. An early design of the tetrahedron kite from Alexander ...

  5. Pyramid (geometry) - Wikipedia

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

    The surface area is the total area of each polyhedra's faces. In the case of a pyramid, its surface area is the sum of the area of triangles and the area of the polygonal base. The volume of a pyramid is the one-third product of the base's area and the height.

    Quarter-circular area [2] ... Right-rectangular pyramid: a, b = the sides of the base h = the distance is from base to the apex General triangular prism: b = the base ...

  7. Rhombic dodecahedron - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhombic_dodecahedron

    The first stellation, often called the stellated rhombic dodecahedron, can be seen as a rhombic dodecahedron with each face augmented by attaching a rhombic-based pyramid to it, with a pyramid height such that the sides lie in the face planes of the neighbouring faces. Luke describes four more stellations: the second and third stellations ...

  8. Surface area - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surface_area

    A sphere of radius r has surface area 4πr 2.. The surface area (symbol A) of a solid object is a measure of the total area that the surface of the object occupies. [1] The mathematical definition of surface area in the presence of curved surfaces is considerably more involved than the definition of arc length of one-dimensional curves, or of the surface area for polyhedra (i.e., objects with ...

    If the area of the Square is 434 units. The area of the circle is 433.7. The ostracon depicting this diagram was found near the Step Pyramid of Saqqara. A curve is divided into five sections and the height of the curve is given in cubits, palms, and digits in each of the sections. [3] [4] At some point, lengths were standardized by cubit rods ...
