  2. Surface-area-to-volume ratio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surface-area-to-volume_ratio

    Graphs of surface area, A against volume, V of the Platonic solids and a sphere, showing that the surface area decreases for rounder shapes, and the surface-area-to-volume ratio decreases with increasing volume. Their intercepts with the dashed lines show that when the volume increases 8 (2³) times, the surface area increases 4 (2²) times.

  3. Rhombicosidodecahedron - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhombicosidodecahedron

    For a rhombicosidodecahedron with edge length a, its surface area and volume are: = (+ + +) = + Geometric relations ... "3D convex uniform polyhedra x3o5x - srid".

  4. Tetrahedron - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tetrahedron

    The volume of a tetrahedron can be obtained in many ways. It can be given by using the formula of the pyramid's volume: =. where is the base' area and is the height from the base to the apex. This applies for each of the four choices of the base, so the distances from the apices to the opposite faces are inversely proportional to the areas of ...

  5. Volume of an n-ball - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volume_of_an_n-ball

    The volume of a n-ball is the Lebesgue measure of this ball, which generalizes to any dimension the usual volume of a ball in 3-dimensional space. The volume of a n -ball of radius R is R n V n , {\displaystyle R^{n}V_{n},} where V n {\displaystyle V_{n}} is the volume of the unit n -ball , the n -ball of radius 1 .

  6. Solid geometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solid_geometry

    A solid figure is the region of 3D space bounded by a two-dimensional closed surface; for example, a solid ball consists of a sphere and its interior. Solid geometry deals with the measurements of volumes of various solids, including pyramids , prisms (and other polyhedrons ), cubes , cylinders , cones (and truncated cones ).

  7. Torus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torus

    A solid torus is a torus plus the volume inside the torus. Real-world objects that approximate a solid torus include O-rings, non-inflatable lifebuoys, ring doughnuts, and bagels. In topology, a ring torus is homeomorphic to the Cartesian product of two circles: S 1 × S 1, and the latter is taken to be the definition in that context. It is a ...

  8. Truncated icosahedron - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Truncated_icosahedron

    The surface area and the volume of the truncated icosahedron of edge length are: [2] = (+ +) = +. The sphericity of a polyhedron describes how closely a polyhedron resembles a sphere. It can be defined as the ratio of the surface area of a sphere with the same volume to the polyhedron's surface area, from which the value is between 0 and 1.

  9. Gabriel's horn - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gabriel's_horn

    Graph of = /. Gabriel's horn is formed by taking the graph of =, with the domain and rotating it in three dimensions about the x axis. The discovery was made using Cavalieri's principle before the invention of calculus, but today, calculus can be used to calculate the volume and surface area of the horn between x = 1 and x = a, where a > 1.
