  2. Steinmetz solid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steinmetz_solid

    The generation of a bicylinder Calculating the volume of a bicylinder. A bicylinder generated by two cylinders with radius r has the volume =, and the surface area [1] [6] =.. The upper half of a bicylinder is the square case of a domical vault, a dome-shaped solid based on any convex polygon whose cross-sections are similar copies of the polygon, and analogous formulas calculating the volume ...

  3. Steinmetz curve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steinmetz_curve

    Steinmetz curves for various cases Steinmetz solid (intersection of two cylinders) involving Steinmetz curves (purple). A Steinmetz curve is the curve of intersection of two right circular cylinders of radii and , whose axes intersect perpendicularly.

  4. Bounding volume - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bounding_volume

    For example, two capsules intersect if the distance between the capsules' segments is smaller than the sum of their radii. This holds for arbitrarily rotated capsules, which is why they're more appealing than cylinders in practice. A bounding cylinder is a cylinder containing the object. In most applications the axis of the cylinder is aligned ...

  5. Line-cylinder intersection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Line-cylinder_intersection

    Green line has two intersections. Yellow line lies tangent to the cylinder, so has infinitely many points of intersection. Line-cylinder intersection is the calculation of any points of intersection, given an analytic geometry description of a line and a cylinder in 3d space. An arbitrary line and cylinder may have no intersection at all.

  6. Intersection curve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intersection_curve

    In geometry, an intersection curve is a curve that is common to two geometric objects. In the simplest case, the intersection of two non-parallel planes in Euclidean 3-space is a line . In general, an intersection curve consists of the common points of two transversally intersecting surfaces , meaning that at any common point the surface ...

  7. Cylinder - Wikipedia

    A cylindric section is the intersection of a cylinder's surface with a plane. They are, in general, curves and are special types of plane sections. The cylindric section by a plane that contains two elements of a cylinder is a parallelogram. [4] Such a cylindric section of a right cylinder is a rectangle. [4]

    Bird flu has been on the rise in Washington state and one sanctuary was hit hard: 20 big cats – more than half of the facility’s population – died over the course of weeks.

  9. Intersection (geometry) - Wikipedia

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

    In geometry, an intersection is a point, line, or curve common to two or more objects (such as lines, curves, planes, and surfaces). The simplest case in Euclidean geometry is the line–line intersection between two distinct lines , which either is one point (sometimes called a vertex ) or does not exist (if the lines are parallel ).
