  2. Method of exhaustion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Method_of_exhaustion

    The area of an ellipse is proportional to a rectangle having sides equal to its major and minor axes; The volume of a sphere is 4 times that of a cone having a base of the same radius and height equal to this radius; The volume of a cylinder having a height equal to its diameter is 3/2 that of a sphere having the same diameter;

  3. Dodecagon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dodecagon

    A skew zig-zag dodecagon has vertices alternating between two parallel planes. A regular skew dodecagon is vertex-transitive with equal edge lengths. In 3-dimensions it will be a zig-zag skew dodecagon and can be seen in the vertices and side edges of a hexagonal antiprism with the same D 5d, [2 +,10] symmetry, order 20. The dodecagrammic ...

  4. Cavalieri's principle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cavalieri's_principle

    In the 3rd century BC, Archimedes, using a method resembling Cavalieri's principle, [5] was able to find the volume of a sphere given the volumes of a cone and cylinder in his work The Method of Mechanical Theorems. In the 5th century AD, Zu Chongzhi and his son Zu Gengzhi established a similar method to find a sphere's volume. [2]

  5. Rhombic dodecahedron - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhombic_dodecahedron

    The surface area A and the volume V of the rhombic dodecahedron with edge length a are: [4] =, =. The rhombic dodecahedron can be viewed as the convex hull of the union of the vertices of a cube and an octahedron where the edges intersect perpendicularly.

  6. Icositetragon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Icositetragon

    As 24 = 2 3 × 3, a regular icositetragon is constructible using an angle trisector. [1] As a truncated dodecagon , it can be constructed by an edge- bisection of a regular dodecagon. Symmetry

  7. Hendecagon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hendecagon

    Draw the radius A B, bisect it in C—with an opening of the compasses equal to half the radius, upon A and C as centres describe the arcs C D I and A D—with the distance I D upon I describe the arc D O and draw the line C O, which will be the extent of one side of a hendecagon sufficiently exact for practice. On a unit circle:

  8. Godunov's scheme - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Godunov's_scheme

    One can think of this method as a conservative finite volume method which solves exact, or approximate Riemann problems at each inter-cell boundary. In its basic form, Godunov's method is first order accurate in both space and time, yet can be used as a base scheme for developing higher-order methods.

  9. Regular dodecahedron - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regular_dodecahedron

    If the edge length of a regular dodecahedron is , the radius of a circumscribed sphere (one that touches the regular dodecahedron at all vertices), the radius of an inscribed sphere (tangent to each of the regular dodecahedron's faces), and the midradius (one that touches the middle of each edge) are: [21] =, =, =. Given a regular dodecahedron ...
