A ridge is seen as the boundary between exactly two facets of a polytope or honeycomb. For example: The ridges of a 2D polygon or 1D tiling are its 0-faces or vertices. The ridges of a 3D polyhedron or plane tiling are its 1-faces or edges. The ridges of a 4D polytope or 3-honeycomb are its 2-faces or simply faces.
In relation to two contacting objects, the contact area is the part of the nominal area that consists of atoms of one object in true contact with the atoms of the other object. Because objects are never perfectly flat due to asperities , the actual contact area (on a microscopic scale) is usually much less than the contact area apparent on a ...
Shoelace scheme for determining the area of a polygon with point coordinates (,),..., (,). The shoelace formula, also known as Gauss's area formula and the surveyor's formula, [1] is a mathematical algorithm to determine the area of a simple polygon whose vertices are described by their Cartesian coordinates in the plane.

The total number of faces is always a power of two minus one. This figure (a projection of the tesseract ) shows the centroids of the 15 faces of the tetrahedron. In some conventions, [ 7 ] the empty set is defined to be a (−1)-simplex.
This animation shows a transformation from a cube to a rhombic triacontahedron by dividing the square faces into 4 squares and splitting middle edges into new rhombic faces. The ratio of the long diagonal to the short diagonal of each face is exactly equal to the golden ratio , φ , so that the acute angles on each face measure 2 arctan ( 1 ...
The proper rotations, (order-3 rotation on a vertex and face, and order-2 on two edges) and reflection plane (through two faces and one edge) in the symmetry group of the regular tetrahedron The regular tetrahedron has 24 isometries, forming the symmetry group known as full tetrahedral symmetry T d {\displaystyle \mathrm {T} _{\mathrm {d} }} .
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 ...
The 12 face angles - there are three of them for each of the four faces of the tetrahedron. The 6 dihedral angles - associated to the six edges of the tetrahedron, since any two faces of the tetrahedron are connected by an edge. The 4 solid angles - associated to each point of the tetrahedron.
