  2. Prism (geometry) - Wikipedia

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

    The volume of a prism is the product of the area of the base by the height, i.e. the distance between the two base faces (in the case of a non-right prism, note that this means the perpendicular distance). The volume is therefore: =, where B is the base area and h is the height.

  3. Unit of volume - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unit_of_volume

    6 volumetric measures from the mens ponderia in Pompeii, a municipal institution for the control of weights and measures (79 A. D.). A unit of volume is a unit of measurement for measuring volume or capacity, the extent of an object or space in three dimensions.

  4. Tetragonal crystal system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tetragonal_crystal_system

    An example of the tetragonal crystals, wulfenite Two different views (top down and from the side) of the unit cell of tP30-CrFe (σ-phase Frank–Kasper structure) that show its different side lengths, making this structure a member of the tetragonal crystal system.

  5. Heptagonal prism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heptagonal_prism

    The volume is found by taking the area of the base, with a side length of and apothem , and multiplying it by the height , giving the formula: [1] = This formula also ...

  6. Triangular prism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triangular_prism

    In the case of a triangular prism, its base is a triangle, so its volume can be calculated by multiplying the area of a triangle and the length of the prism: , where b is the length of one side of the triangle, h is the length of an altitude drawn to that side, and l is the distance between the triangular faces.

    Perspective with hidden volume elimination. The red corner is the nearest in 4D and has 4 cubical cells meeting around it. The tetrahedron forms the convex hull of the tesseract's vertex-centered central projection.

  8. Rhombicuboctahedron - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhombicuboctahedron

    The volume of a rhombicuboctahedron can be determined by slicing it into two square cupolas and one octagonal prism. Given that the edge length a {\displaystyle a} , its surface area and volume is: [ 7 ] A = ( 18 + 2 3 ) a 2 ≈ 21.464 a 2 , V = 12 + 10 2 3 a 3 ≈ 8.714 a 3 . {\displaystyle {\begin{aligned}A&=\left(18+2{\sqrt {3}}\right)a^{2 ...
