  2. Egyptian geometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Egyptian_geometry

    If the area of the Square is 434 units. The area of the circle is 433.7. The ostracon depicting this diagram was found near the Step Pyramid of Saqqara. A curve is divided into five sections and the height of the curve is given in cubits, palms, and digits in each of the sections. [3] [4] At some point, lengths were standardized by cubit rods ...

  3. Prism (geometry) - Wikipedia

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

    A right prism is a prism in which the joining edges and faces are perpendicular to the base faces. [5] This applies if and only if all the joining faces are rectangular. The dual of a right n-prism is a right n-bipyramid. A right prism (with rectangular sides) with regular n-gon bases has Schläfli symbol { }×{n}.

  4. Pyramid (geometry) - Wikipedia

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

    The volume of a pyramid is the one-third product of the base's area and the height. The pyramid height is defined as the length of the line segment between the apex and its orthogonal projection on the base. Given that is the base's area and is the height of a pyramid, the volume of a pyramid is: [25] =.

  5. Triaugmented triangular prism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triaugmented_triangular_prism

    A triaugmented triangular prism with edge length has surface area [10], the area of 14 equilateral triangles. Its volume, [ 10 ] 2 2 + 3 4 a 3 ≈ 1.140 a 3 , {\displaystyle {\frac {2{\sqrt {2}}+{\sqrt {3}}}{4}}a^{3}\approx 1.140a^{3},} can be derived by slicing it into a central prism and three square pyramids, and adding their volumes.

  6. Elongated triangular pyramid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elongated_triangular_pyramid

    An elongated triangular pyramid with edge length has a height, by adding the height of a regular tetrahedron and a triangular prism: [4] (+). Its surface area can be calculated by adding the area of all eight equilateral triangles and three squares: [2] (+), and its volume can be calculated by slicing it into a regular tetrahedron and a prism, adding their volume up: [2]: ((+)).

  7. Heptagonal prism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heptagonal_prism

    3D model of a (uniform) heptagonal prism. In geometry , the heptagonal prism is a prism with heptagonal base. This polyhedron has 9 faces (2 bases and 7 sides), 21 edges, and 14 vertices.

  8. Pappus's centroid theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pappus's_centroid_theorem

    The theorem applied to an open cylinder, cone and a sphere to obtain their surface areas. The centroids are at a distance a (in red) from the axis of rotation.. In mathematics, Pappus's centroid theorem (also known as the Guldinus theorem, Pappus–Guldinus theorem or Pappus's theorem) is either of two related theorems dealing with the surface areas and volumes of surfaces and solids of ...

  9. Projected area - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Projected_area

    Projected area is the two dimensional area measurement of a three-dimensional object by projecting its shape on to an arbitrary plane. This is often used in mechanical engineering and architectural engineering related fields, especially for hardness testing, axial stress , wind pressures, and terminal velocity .
