  2. Frustum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frustum

    The John Hancock Center in Chicago, Illinois is a frustum whose bases are rectangles. The Washington Monument is a narrow square-based pyramidal frustum topped by a small pyramid. The viewing frustum in 3D computer graphics is a virtual photographic or video camera's usable field of view modeled as a pyramidal frustum.

  3. Tree volume measurement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tree_volume_measurement

    The formula for the volume of a frustum of a paraboloid [23] [24] is: V = (π h/2)(r 1 2 + r 2 2), where h = height of the frustum, r 1 is the radius of the base of the frustum, and r 2 is the radius of the top of the frustum. This allows us to use a paraboloid frustum where that form appears more appropriate than a cone.

  4. Tree measurement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tree_measurement

    Cumulative trunk volume is calculated by adding the volume of the measured segments of the tree together. The volume of each segment is calculated as the volume of a frustum of a cone where: Volume= h(π/3)(r 1 2 + r 2 2 +r 1 r 2) Frustum of a cone

  5. 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]

  6. Spherical cap - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spherical_cap

    An example of a spherical cap in blue (and another in red) In geometry, a spherical cap or spherical dome is a portion of a sphere or of a ball cut off by a plane.It is also a spherical segment of one base, i.e., bounded by a single plane.

  7. Bipyramid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bipyramid

    The volume of a symmetric bipyramid is , where B is the area of the base and h the perpendicular distance from the base plane to either apex. In the case of a regular n - sided polygon with side length s and whose altitude is h , the volume of such a bipyramid is: n 6 h s 2 cot ⁡ π n . {\displaystyle {\frac {n}{6}}hs^{2}\cot {\frac {\pi }{n}}.}

  8. Viewing frustum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viewing_frustum

    A view frustum The appearance of an object in a pyramid of vision When creating a parallel projection, the viewing frustum is shaped like a box as opposed to a pyramid.. In 3D computer graphics, a viewing frustum [1] or view frustum [2] is the region of space in the modeled world that may appear on the screen; it is the field of view of a perspective virtual camera system.

  9. Egyptian geometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Egyptian_geometry

    Several problems in the Moscow Mathematical Papyrus (problem 14) and in the Rhind Mathematical Papyrus (numbers 44, 45, 46) compute the volume of a rectangular granary. [10] [11] Problem 14 of the Moscow Mathematical Papyrus computes the volume of a truncated pyramid, also known as a frustum.
