  2. Base (geometry) - Wikipedia

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

    The extended base of a triangle (a particular case of an extended side) is the line that contains the base. When the triangle is obtuse and the base is chosen to be one of the sides adjacent to the obtuse angle, then the altitude dropped perpendicularly from the apex to the base intersects the extended base outside of the triangle. The area of ...

  3. Dihedral symmetry in three dimensions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dihedral_symmetry_in_three...

    D 1h and C 2v: group of order 4 with a reflection in a plane and a 180° rotation about a line in that plane. D 1d and C 2h: group of order 4 with a reflection in a plane and a 180° rotation about a line perpendicular to that plane. For n = 2 there is not one main axis and two additional axes, but there are three equivalent ones.

  4. Oblique projection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oblique_projection

    The projectors in oblique projection intersect the projection plane at an oblique angle to produce the projected image, as opposed to the perpendicular angle used in orthographic projection. Mathematically, the parallel projection of the point ( x , y , z ) {\displaystyle (x,y,z)} on the x y {\displaystyle xy} -plane gives ( x + a z , y + b z ...

  5. Plane–plane intersection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planeplane_intersection

    Given two intersecting planes described by : + + + = and : + + + =, the dihedral angle between them is defined to be the angle between their normal directions:

  6. Engineering drawing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engineering_drawing

    Using the auxiliary view allows for that inclined plane (and any other significant features) to be projected in their true size and shape. The true size and shape of any feature in an engineering drawing can only be known when the Line of Sight (LOS) is perpendicular to the plane being referenced. It is shown like a three-dimensional object.

  7. Cross section (geometry) - Wikipedia

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

    A cross-section of a solid right circular cylinder extending between two bases is a disk if the cross-section is parallel to the cylinder's base, or an elliptic region (see diagram at right) if it is neither parallel nor perpendicular to the base. If the cutting plane is perpendicular to the base it consists of a rectangle (not shown) unless it ...

  8. Plücker coordinates - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plücker_coordinates

    Then their respective planes are perpendicular to vectors a and b, and the direction of L must be perpendicular to both. Hence we may set d = a × b, which is nonzero because a, b are neither zero nor parallel (the planes being distinct and intersecting). If point x satisfies both plane equations, then it also satisfies the linear combination

  9. Orthographic projection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orthographic_projection

    Orthographic projection (also orthogonal projection and analemma) [a] is a means of representing three-dimensional objects in two dimensions.Orthographic projection is a form of parallel projection in which all the projection lines are orthogonal to the projection plane, [2] resulting in every plane of the scene appearing in affine transformation on the viewing surface.
