  2. Parallelepiped - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parallelepiped

    Right parallelogrammic prism: it has four rectangular faces and two parallelogrammic faces. Oblique rhombic prism : it has two rhombic faces, while of the other faces, two adjacent ones are equal and the other two also (the two pairs are each other's mirror image).

  3. 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.

  4. Cavalieri's principle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cavalieri's_principle

    History. Italian mathematician Bonaventura Cavalieri (1598–1647), from a 1682 publication of his Trattato della sfera. Cavalieri's principle was originally called the method of indivisibles, the name it was known by in Renaissance Europe. [2] Cavalieri developed a complete theory of indivisibles, elaborated in his Geometria indivisibilibus ...

  5. Frustum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frustum

    Frustum. In geometry, a frustum (Latin for 'morsel'); [a] (pl.: frusta or frustums) is the portion of a solid (normally a pyramid or a cone) that lies between two parallel planes cutting the solid. In the case of a pyramid, the base faces are polygonal and the side faces are trapezoidal. A right frustum is a right pyramid or a right cone ...

  6. Rhombohedron - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhombohedron

    Rhombohedron. In geometry, a rhombohedron (also called a rhombic hexahedron[1][2] or, inaccurately, a rhomboid[a]) is a special case of a parallelepiped in which all six faces are congruent rhombi. [3] It can be used to define the rhombohedral lattice system, a honeycomb with rhombohedral cells.

  7. Cylinder - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cylinder

    the area of the bottom base: πr 2; the area of the side: 2πrh; The area of the top and bottom bases is the same, and is called the base area, B. The area of the side is known as the lateral area, L. An open cylinder does not include either top or bottom elements, and therefore has surface area (lateral area) =

  8. Monoclinic crystal system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monoclinic_crystal_system

    In crystallography, the monoclinic crystal system is one of the seven crystal systems. A crystal system is described by three vectors. In the monoclinic system, the crystal is described by vectors of unequal lengths, as in the orthorhombic system. They form a parallelogram prism. Hence two pairs of vectors are perpendicular (meet at right ...

  9. Heptagonal prism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heptagonal_prism

    Heptagonal prism. 3D model of a (uniform) heptagonal prism. In geometry, the heptagonal prism is a prism with heptagonal base. This polyhedron has 9 faces (2 bases and 7 sides), 21 edges, and 14 vertices. [1][2]
