  2. Frustum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frustum

    A frustum's axis is that of the original cone or pyramid. A frustum is circular if it has circular bases; it is right if the axis is perpendicular to both bases, and oblique otherwise. The height of a frustum is the perpendicular distance between the planes of the two bases.

  3. Tree volume measurement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tree_volume_measurement

    The formula for the volume of a frustum of a paraboloid [23] [24] is: V = (π h/2)(r 1 2 + r 2 2), where h = height of the frustum, r 1 is the radius of the base of the frustum, and r 2 is the radius of the top of the frustum. This allows us to use a paraboloid frustum where that form appears more appropriate than a cone.

  4. Rhombicosidodecahedron - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhombicosidodecahedron

    If you expand an icosidodecahedron by moving the faces away from the origin the right amount, without changing the orientation or size of the faces, and patch the square holes in the result, you get a rhombicosidodecahedron.

  5. Spherical segment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spherical_segment

    A spherical segment Pair of parallel planes intersecting a sphere forming a spherical segment (i.e., a spherical frustum) Terminology for spherical segments.. In geometry, a spherical segment is the solid defined by cutting a sphere or a ball with a pair of parallel planes.

  6. Tree measurement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tree_measurement

    Frustum of a cone. A similar, but more complex formula can be used where the trunk is significantly more elliptical in shape where the lengths of the major and minor axis of the ellipse are measured at the top and bottom of each segment. [2] [8] In areas where the trunk bifurcates the trunk will not have a circular or simple elliptical diameter.

  7. Heronian mean - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heronian_mean

    A square frustum, with volume equal to the height times the Heronian mean of the square areas. The Heronian mean may be used in finding the volume of a frustum of a pyramid or cone. The volume is equal to the product of the height of the frustum and the Heronian mean of the areas of the opposing parallel faces. [2]

  8. Glossary of calculus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glossary_of_calculus

    In geometry, a frustum (plural: frusta or frustums) is the portion of a solid (normally a cone or pyramid) that lies between one or two parallel planes cutting it. A right frustum is a parallel truncation of a right pyramid or right cone.

  9. Nose cone design - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nose_cone_design

    A bi-conic nose cone shape is simply a cone with length L 1 stacked on top of a frustum of a cone (commonly known as a conical transition section shape) with length L 2, where the base of the upper cone is equal in radius R 1 to the top radius of the smaller frustum with base radius R 2.
