  2. Spherical wedge - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spherical_wedge

    Extrapolating the same principle and considering that the surface area of a sphere is given by 4 π r 2, it can be seen that the surface area of the lune corresponding to the same wedge is given by A = α 2 π ⋅ 4 π r 2 = 2 α r 2 . {\displaystyle A={\frac {\alpha }{2\pi }}\cdot 4\pi r^{2}=2\alpha r^{2}\,.}

  3. Wedge (geometry) - Wikipedia

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

    A wedge is a polyhedron of a rectangular base, with the faces are two isosceles triangles and two trapezoids that meet at the top of an edge. [1]. A prismatoid is defined as a polyhedron where its vertices lie on two parallel planes, with its lateral faces are triangles, trapezoids, and parallelograms; [2] the wedge is an example of prismatoid because of its top edge is parallel to the ...

    The surface area, or properly the ⁠ ⁠-dimensional volume, of the ⁠ ⁠-sphere at the boundary of the ⁠ (+) ⁠-ball of radius ⁠ ⁠ is related to the volume of the ball by the differential equation

  5. Wedge - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wedge

    The mechanical advantage of a wedge is given by the ratio of the length of its slope to its width. [1] [2] Although a short wedge with a wide angle may do a job faster, it requires more force than a long wedge with a narrow angle. The force is applied on a flat, broad surface.

  6. Spherical sector - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spherical_sector

    The curved surface area of the spherical sector (on the surface of the sphere, excluding the cone surface) is =. It is also A = Ω r 2 {\displaystyle A=\Omega r^{2}} where Ω is the solid angle of the spherical sector in steradians , the SI unit of solid angle.

  7. Exterior algebra - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exterior_algebra

    The wedge product was introduced originally as an algebraic construction used in geometry to study areas, volumes, and their higher-dimensional analogues: the magnitude of a 2-blade is the area of the parallelogram defined by and , and, more generally, the magnitude of a -blade is the (hyper)volume of the parallelotope defined by the ...

  8. Spherical segment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spherical_segment

    The surface of the spherical segment (excluding the bases) is called spherical zone. Geometric parameters for spherical segment. If the radius of the sphere is called R , the radii of the spherical segment bases are a and b , and the height of the segment (the distance from one parallel plane to the other) called h , then the volume of the ...

  9. Lambert's cosine law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lambert's_cosine_law

    The wedges in the circle each represent an equal angle dΩ, of an arbitrarily chosen size, and for a Lambertian surface, the number of photons per second emitted into each wedge is proportional to the area of the wedge. The length of each wedge is the product of the diameter of the circle and cos(θ).
