  2. The spider and the fly problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_spider_and_the_fly_problem

    In the typical version of the puzzle, an otherwise empty cuboid room 30 feet long, 12 feet wide and 12 feet high contains a spider and a fly. The spider is 1 foot below the ceiling and horizontally centred on one 12′×12′ wall. The fly is 1 foot above the floor and horizontally centred on the opposite wall.

  3. Square–cube law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Square–cube_law

    This picture clarifies the relationship between a polyhedron's side length, its surface area, and its volume. The square–cube law can be stated as follows: When an object undergoes a proportional increase in size, its new surface area is proportional to the square of the multiplier and its new volume is proportional to the cube of the multiplier.

  4. Cuboid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cuboid

    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. When all of the rectangular cuboid's edges are equal in length, it results in a cube, with six square faces and adjacent faces meeting at right angles.

  5. Solid geometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solid_geometry

    Hyperboloid of one sheet. Solid geometry or stereometry is the geometry of three-dimensional Euclidean space (3D space). [1] A solid figure is the region of 3D space bounded by a two-dimensional closed surface; for example, a solid ball consists of a sphere and its interior.

  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.

  7. Parallelepiped - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parallelepiped

    Rectangular cuboid: it has six rectangular faces (also called a rectangular parallelepiped, or sometimes simply a cuboid). Right rhombic prism : it has two rhombic faces and four congruent rectangular faces.

  8. Hypercube - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypercube

    In geometry, a hypercube is an n-dimensional analogue of a square (n = 2) and a cube (n = 3); the special case for n = 4 is known as a tesseract.It is a closed, compact, convex figure whose 1-skeleton consists of groups of opposite parallel line segments aligned in each of the space's dimensions, perpendicular to each other and of the same length.

  9. Cube - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cube

    A cube is a special case of rectangular cuboid in which the edges are equal in length. [1] Like other cuboids, every face of a cube has four vertices, each of which connects with three congruent lines. These edges form square faces, making the dihedral angle of a cube between every two adjacent squares being the interior angle of a square, 90 ...
