  2. Ball (mathematics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ball_(mathematics)

    In particular, a ball (open or closed) always includes p itself, since the definition requires r > 0. A unit ball (open or closed) is a ball of radius 1. A ball in a general metric space need not be round. For example, a ball in real coordinate space under the Chebyshev distance is a hypercube, and a ball under the taxicab distance is a cross ...

  3. Four square - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Four_square

    Four square is played on any hard-surfaced court, such as wood, concrete or asphalt.There is no official court size, but typically courts measure between 10 and 30 feet (3.0 and 9.1 meters) on a side, and divided into four smaller squares labelled 1–4 of equal size.

  4. Volume of an n-ball - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volume_of_an_n-ball

    Volumes of balls in dimensions 0 through 25; unit ball in red. In geometry, a ball is a region in a space comprising all points within a fixed distance, called the radius, from a given point; that is, it is the region enclosed by a sphere or hypersphere. An n-ball is a ball in an n-dimensional Euclidean space.

  5. On the Sphere and Cylinder - Wikipedia

    In his work, Archimedes showed that the surface area of a cylinder is equal to: = + = (+). and that the volume of the same is: =. [3] On the sphere, he showed that the surface area is four times the area of its great circle. In modern terms, this means that the surface area is equal to:

  6. Orders of magnitude (length) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orders_of_magnitude_(length)

    The centimetre (SI symbol: cm) is a unit of length in the metric system equal to 10 −2 metres (⁠ 1 / 100 ⁠ m = 0.01 m). To help compare different orders of magnitude, this section lists lengths between 10 −2 m and 10 −1 m (1 cm and 1 dm). 1 cm – 10 millimeters; 1 cm – 0.39 inches; 1 cm – edge of a square of area 1 cm 2

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cannonball_problem

    This is comparable with the 24th square pyramid having a total of 70 2 cannonballs. [5] Similarly, a pentagonal-pyramid version of the cannonball problem to produce a perfect square, would have N = 8, yielding a total of (14 × 14 = ) 196 cannonballs. [6] The only numbers that are simultaneously triangular and square pyramidal are 1, 55, 91 ...
