  2. Frustum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frustum

    Frustum. In geometry, a frustum (Latin for 'morsel'); [a] (pl.: frusta or frustums) is the portion of a solid (normally a pyramid or a cone) that lies between two parallel planes cutting the solid. In the case of a pyramid, the base faces are polygonal and the side faces are trapezoidal. A right frustum is a right pyramid or a right cone ...

  3. Cone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cone

    A cone and a cylinder have radius r and height h. 2. The volume ratio is maintained when the height is scaled to h' = r √ π. 3. Decompose it into thin slices. 4. Using Cavalieri's principle, reshape each slice into a square of the same area. 5. The pyramid is replicated twice. 6. Combining them into a cube shows that the volume ratio is 1:3.

  4. Spherical cap - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spherical_cap

    Spherical cap. An example of a spherical cap in blue (and another in red) In geometry, a spherical cap or spherical dome is a portion of a sphere or of a ball cut off by a plane. It is also a spherical segment of one base, i.e., bounded by a single plane.

  6. Tree volume measurement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tree_volume_measurement

    The value 75.4 = 24 π, where 24 π substitutes for factor of 12 π in the formula for a volume of frustum of a cone encompassing a full tree using one base circumference, converting it to a volume formula that uses a basal circumference that is the average of circumferences C 1 and C 2.

  7. 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 ...

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

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

    The surface-area-to-volume ratio has physical dimension inverse length (L −1) and is therefore expressed in units of inverse metre (m -1) or its prefixed unit multiples and submultiples. As an example, a cube with sides of length 1 cm will have a surface area of 6 cm 2 and a volume of 1 cm 3. The surface to volume ratio for this cube is thus.

  9. Lateral surface - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lateral_surface

    The lateral surface area is the area of the lateral surface. This is to be distinguished from the total surface area, which is the lateral surface area together with the areas of the base and top. For a cube the lateral surface area would be the area of the four sides. If the edge of the cube has length a, the area of one square face Aface = a ...
