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

    A right prism is a prism in which the joining edges and faces are perpendicular to the base faces. [5] This applies if and only if all the joining faces are rectangular. The dual of a right n-prism is a right n-bipyramid. A right prism (with rectangular sides) with regular n-gon bases has Schläfli symbol { }×{n}.

  6. Characteristic length - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Characteristic_length

    In physics, a characteristic length is an important dimension that defines the scale of a physical system. Often, such a length is used as an input to a formula in order to predict some characteristics of the system, and it is usually required by the construction of a dimensionless quantity, in the general framework of dimensional analysis and in particular applications such as fluid mechanics.

    Some sources also require that each of the faces is a rectangle (so each pair of adjacent faces meets in a right angle). This more restrictive type of cuboid is also known as a rectangular cuboid, right cuboid, rectangular box, rectangular hexahedron, right rectangular prism, or rectangular parallelepiped.

  8. Base (geometry) - Wikipedia

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

    In speaking about these processes, the measure (length or area) of a figure's base is often referred to as its "base." By this usage, the area of a parallelogram or the volume of a prism or cylinder can be calculated by multiplying its "base" by its height; likewise, the areas of triangles and the volumes of cones and pyramids are fractions of ...

    [b] They can be represented as the prism graph. [3] [c] In the case that all six faces are squares, the result is a cube. [4] If a rectangular cuboid has length , width , and height , then: [5] its volume is the product of the rectangular area and its height: =.
