    Gaussian curve with a two-dimensional domain Many shapes have metaphorical names , i.e., their names are metaphors : these shapes are named after a most common object that has it. For example, "U-shape" is a shape that resembles the letter U , a bell-shaped curve has the shape of the vertical cross section of a bell , etc.

  3. Cube - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cube

    The cube is non-composite polyhedron, meaning it is a convex polyhedron that cannot be separated into two or more regular polyhedrons. The cube can be applied to construct a new convex polyhedron by attaching another. [59] Attaching a square pyramid to each square face of a cube produces its Kleetope, a polyhedron known as the tetrakis ...

    Two clusters of faces of the bilunabirotunda, the lunes (each lune featuring two triangles adjacent to opposite sides of one square), can be aligned with a congruent patch of faces on the rhombicosidodecahedron. If two bilunabirotundae are aligned this way on opposite sides of the rhombicosidodecahedron, then a cube can be put between the ...

  7. Cuboid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cuboid

    A square frustum is a frustum with a square base, but the rest of its faces are quadrilaterals; the square frustum is formed by truncating the apex of a square pyramid. In attempting to classify cuboids by their symmetries, Robertson (1983) found that there were at least 22 different cases, "of which only about half are familiar in the shapes ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Squircle

    Squircle centred on the origin (a = b = 0) with minor radius r = 1: x 4 + y 4 = 1A squircle is a shape intermediate between a square and a circle.There are at least two definitions of "squircle" in use, one based on the superellipse, the other arising from work in optics.

  9. Square–cube law - Wikipedia

    Its volume would be multiplied by the cube of 2 and become 8 m 3. The original cube (1 m sides) has a surface area to volume ratio of 6:1. The larger (2 m sides) cube has a surface area to volume ratio of (24/8) 3:1. As the dimensions increase, the volume will continue to grow faster than the surface area. Thus the squarecube law.
