  2. Congruence (geometry) - Wikipedia

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

    Definition of congruence in analytic geometry. In a Euclidean system, congruence is fundamental; it is the counterpart of equality for numbers. In analytic geometry, congruence may be defined intuitively thus: two mappings of figures onto one Cartesian coordinate system are congruent if and only if, for any two points in the first mapping, the ...

  3. Similarity (geometry) - Wikipedia

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

    Corresponding sides of similar polygons are in proportion, and corresponding angles of similar polygons have the same measure. Two congruent shapes are similar, with a scale factor of 1. However, some school textbooks specifically exclude congruent triangles from their definition of similar triangles by insisting that the sizes must be ...

  4. Octahedron - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Octahedron

    Octahedron. In geometry, an octahedron (pl.: octahedra or octahedrons) is a polyhedron with eight faces. One special case is the regular octahedron, a Platonic solid composed of eight equilateral triangles, four of which meet at each vertex. Regular octahedra occur in nature as crystal structures.

  5. Platonic solid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Platonic_solid

    Platonic solid. In geometry, a Platonic solid is a convex, regular polyhedron in three-dimensional Euclidean space. Being a regular polyhedron means that the faces are congruent (identical in shape and size) regular polygons (all angles congruent and all edges congruent), and the same number of faces meet at each vertex.

  6. Regular polyhedron - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regular_polyhedron

    A regular polyhedron is a polyhedron whose symmetry group acts transitively on its flags. A regular polyhedron is highly symmetrical, being all of edge-transitive, vertex-transitive and face-transitive. In classical contexts, many different equivalent definitions are used; a common one is that the faces are congruent regular polygons which are ...

  7. Wallace–Bolyai–Gerwien theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wallace–Bolyai–Gerwien...

    By the Wallace–Bolyai–Gerwien theorem, a square can be cut into parts and rearranged into a triangle of equal area. In geometry, the Wallace–Bolyai–Gerwien theorem, [ 1] named after William Wallace, Farkas Bolyai and P. Gerwien, is a theorem related to dissections of polygons. It answers the question when one polygon can be formed from ...

  8. Rectangle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rectangle

    Rectangle. In Euclidean plane geometry, a rectangle is a quadrilateral with four right angles. It can also be defined as: an equiangular quadrilateral, since equiangular means that all of its angles are equal (360°/4 = 90°); or a parallelogram containing a right angle. A rectangle with four sides of equal length is a square.

  9. Prism (geometry) - Wikipedia

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

    Prism (geometry) In geometry, a prism is a polyhedron comprising an n-sided polygon base, a second base which is a translated copy (rigidly moved without rotation) of the first, and n other faces, necessarily all parallelograms, joining corresponding sides of the two bases. All cross-sections parallel to the bases are translations of the bases.
