2. Pressure prism - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pressure_prism

   Pressure prism. A pressure prism is a way of visually describing the variation of hydrostatic pressure within a volume of fluid. When variables of fluid density, depth, gravity, and other forces such as atmospheric pressure are charted, the resulting figure somewhat resembles a prism.

3. 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.

4. Prism correction - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prism_correction

   Yoked prism can move the image away from primary gaze without the need for a constant head tilt or turn. [1] Prism correction is measured in prism dioptres. A prescription that specifies prism correction will also specify the "base". The base is the thickest part of the lens and is opposite from the apex.

5. Cross section (geometry) - Wikipedia

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

   A cross-section view of a compression seal. In geometry and science, a cross section is the non-empty intersection of a solid body in three-dimensional space with a plane, or the analog in higher- dimensional spaces. Cutting an object into slices creates many parallel cross-sections. The boundary of a cross-section in three-dimensional space ...

6. 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 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 ...

7. 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 ...

8. Cavalieri's principle - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cavalieri's_principle

   Bonaventura Cavalieri, the mathematician the principle is named after. Cavalieri's principle was originally called the method of indivisibles, the name it was known by in Renaissance Europe. [2] Cavalieri developed a complete theory of indivisibles, elaborated in his Geometria indivisibilibus continuorum nova quadam ratione promota (Geometry ...

9. Johnson solid - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Johnson_solid

   A Johnson solid is a convex polyhedron whose faces are all regular polygons. [1] Here, a polyhedron is said to be convex if the shortest path between any two of its vertices lies either within its interior or on its boundary, none of its faces are coplanar (meaning they do not share the same plane, and do not "lie flat"), and none of its edges are colinear (meaning they are not segments of the ...
