  2. 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 ...

  3. Liu Hui's π algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liu_Hui's_π_algorithm

    The area within a circle is equal to the radius multiplied by half the circumference, or A = r x C /2 = r x r x π.. Liu Hui argued: "Multiply one side of a hexagon by the radius (of its circumcircle), then multiply this by three, to yield the area of a dodecagon; if we cut a hexagon into a dodecagon, multiply its side by its radius, then again multiply by six, we get the area of a 24-gon; the ...

  4. Method of exhaustion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Method_of_exhaustion

    Proposition 2: The area of circles is proportional to the square of their diameters. [3] Proposition 5: The volumes of two tetrahedra of the same height are proportional to the areas of their triangular bases. [4] Proposition 10: The volume of a cone is a third of the volume of the corresponding cylinder which has the same base and height. [5]

  5. 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 ...

    Quarter-circular area [2] ... a = the radius of the base circle h = the height of the semi-ellipsoid from the base cicle's center to the edge Solid ...

  7. Regular polygon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regular_polygon

    Regular pentagon (n = 5) with side s, circumradius R and apothem a Graphs of side, s; apothem, a; and area, A of regular polygons of n sides and circumradius 1, with the base, b of a rectangle with the same area. The green line shows the case n = 6.

  8. Small stellated dodecahedron - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Small_stellated_dodecahedron

    For example, a truncated pentagon {5 ⁄ 1} becomes a decagon {10 ⁄ 1}, so truncating a pentagram {5 ⁄ 2} becomes a doubly-wound pentagon {10 ⁄ 2} (the common factor between 10 and 2 mean we visit each vertex twice to complete the polygon).

  9. Measurement of a Circle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Measurement_of_a_Circle

    Proposition one states: The area of any circle is equal to a right-angled triangle in which one of the sides about the right angle is equal to the radius, and the other to the circumference of the circle. Any circle with a circumference c and a radius r is equal in area with a right triangle with the two legs being c and r.
