2. Heron's formula - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heron's_formula

   A triangle with sides a, b, and c. In geometry, Heron's formula (or Hero's formula) gives the area of a triangle in terms of the three side lengths ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ Letting ⁠ ⁠ be the semiperimeter of the triangle, the area ⁠ ⁠ is [ 1] It is named after first-century engineer Heron of Alexandria (or Hero) who proved it in his ...

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

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

   The surface-area-to-volume ratio or surface-to-volume ratio (denoted as SA:V, SA/V, or sa/vol) is the ratio between surface area and volume of an object or collection of objects. SA:V is an important concept in science and engineering. It is used to explain the relation between structure and function in processes occurring through the surface ...

4. 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.

5. List of second moments of area - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_second_moments_of_area

   The following is a list of second moments of area of some shapes. The second moment of area, also known as area moment of inertia, is a geometrical property of an area which reflects how its points are distributed with respect to an arbitrary axis. The unit of dimension of the second moment of area is length to fourth power, L 4, and should not ...

7. Surface area - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surface_area

   A sphere of radius r has surface area 4πr 2.. The surface area (symbol A) of a solid object is a measure of the total area that the surface of the object occupies. [1] The mathematical definition of surface area in the presence of curved surfaces is considerably more involved than the definition of arc length of one-dimensional curves, or of the surface area for polyhedra (i.e., objects with ...

8. Solid geometry - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solid_geometry

   Solid geometry or stereometry is the geometry of three-dimensional Euclidean space (3D space). [1] A solid figure is the region of 3D space bounded by a two-dimensional 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 ...

9. Hexagonal prism - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hexagonal_prism

   In geometry, the hexagonal prism is a prism with hexagonal base. Prisms are polyhedrons; this polyhedron has 8 faces, 18 edges, and 12 vertices. [ 1] Since it has 8 faces, it is an octahedron. However, the term octahedron is primarily used to refer to the regular octahedron, which has eight triangular faces. Because of the ambiguity of the term ...
