  2. Square pyramid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Square_pyramid

    In general, the volume of a pyramid is equal to one-third of the area of its base multiplied by its height. [8] Expressed in a formula for a square pyramid, this is: [9] =. Many mathematicians have discovered the formula for calculating the volume of a square pyramid in ancient times.

  3. Surface-area-to-volume ratio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surface-area-to-volume_ratio

    The surface-area-to-volume ratio has physical dimension inverse length (L −1) and is therefore expressed in units of inverse metre (m-1) or its prefixed unit multiples and submultiples. As an example, a cube with sides of length 1 cm will have a surface area of 6 cm 2 and a volume of 1 cm 3. The surface to volume ratio for this cube is thus

  4. Volume - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volume

    Some SI units of volume to scale and approximate corresponding mass of water. To ease calculations, a unit of volume is equal to the volume occupied by a unit cube (with a side length of one). Because the volume occupies three dimensions, if the metre (m) is chosen as a unit of length, the corresponding unit of volume is the cubic metre (m 3).

  6. Frustum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frustum

    The formula for the volume of a pyramidal square frustum was introduced by the ancient Egyptian mathematics in what is called the Moscow Mathematical Papyrus, written in the 13th dynasty (c. 1850 BC): = (+ +), where a and b are the base and top side lengths, and h is the height.

  7. Square–cube law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Square–cube_law

    The square–cube law was first mentioned in Two New Sciences (1638).. The square–cube law (or cube–square law) is a mathematical principle, applied in a variety of scientific fields, which describes the relationship between the volume and the surface area as a shape's size increases or decreases.

  8. Pyramid (geometry) - Wikipedia

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

    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. [26] The formula of volume for a general pyramid was discovered by Indian mathematician Aryabhata, where he quoted in his Aryabhatiya that the volume of a pyramid is ...

    The square has Dih 4 symmetry, order 8. There are 2 dihedral subgroups: Dih 2, Dih 1, and 3 cyclic subgroups: Z 4, Z 2, and Z 1. A square is a special case of many lower symmetry quadrilaterals: A rectangle with two adjacent equal sides; A quadrilateral with four equal sides and four right angles; A parallelogram with one right angle and two ...
