  2. Projected area - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Projected_area

    Projected area is the two dimensional area measurement of a three-dimensional object by projecting its shape on to an arbitrary plane. This is often used in mechanical engineering and architectural engineering related fields, especially for hardness testing, axial stress , wind pressures, and terminal velocity .

  3. Prism (geometry) - Wikipedia

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

    A right prism is a prism in which the joining edges and faces are perpendicular to the base faces. [5] This applies if and only if all the joining faces are rectangular. The dual of a right n-prism is a right n-bipyramid. A right prism (with rectangular sides) with regular n-gon bases has Schläfli symbol { }×{n}.

    A filled rectangular area as above but with respect to an axis collinear with the base = = [4] This is a result from the parallel axis theorem: A hollow rectangle with an inner rectangle whose width is b 1 and whose height is h 1

  6. Parallelepiped - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parallelepiped

    Right rhombic prism: it has two rhombic faces and four congruent rectangular faces. Note: the fully rhombic special case, with two rhombic faces and four congruent square faces ( a = b = c ) {\displaystyle (a=b=c)} , has the same name, and the same symmetry group (D 2h , order 8).

  7. Area - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Area

    A = lw (rectangle). That is, the area of the rectangle is the length multiplied by the width. As a special case, as l = w in the case of a square, the area of a square with side length s is given by the formula: [1] [2] A = s 2 (square). The formula for the area of a rectangle follows directly from the basic properties of area, and is sometimes ...

    Some sources also require that each of the faces is a rectangle (so each pair of adjacent faces meets in a right angle). This more restrictive type of cuboid is also known as a rectangular cuboid, right cuboid, rectangular box, rectangular hexahedron, right rectangular prism, or rectangular parallelepiped. [5] Polyhedron

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cavalieri's_principle

    Calculate the area within this rectangle that lies above the cycloid arch by bisecting the rectangle at the midpoint where the arch meets the rectangle, rotate one piece by 180° and overlay the other half of the rectangle with it. The new rectangle, of area twice that of the circle, consists of the "lens" region between two cycloids, whose ...
