  2. Surface area - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surface_area

    A sphere of radius r has surface area 4πr 2.. The surface area (symbol A) of a solid object is a measure of the total area that the surface of the object occupies. [1] The mathematical definition of surface area in the presence of curved surfaces is considerably more involved than the definition of arc length of one-dimensional curves, or of the surface area for polyhedra (i.e., objects with ...

  3. Surface-area-to-volume ratio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surface-area-to-volume_ratio

    The surface-area-to-volume ratio has physical dimension inverse length (L −1) and is therefore expressed in units of inverse metre (m-1) or its prefixed unit multiples and submultiples. As an example, a cube with sides of length 1 cm will have a surface area of 6 cm 2 and a volume of 1 cm 3. The surface to volume ratio for this cube is thus

  4. Prism (geometry) - Wikipedia

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

    A right rectangular prism (with a rectangular base) is also called a cuboid, or informally a rectangular box. A right rectangular prism has Schläfli symbol { }×{ }×{ }. A right square prism (with a square base) is also called a square cuboid, or informally a square box. Note: some texts may apply the term rectangular prism or square prism to ...

  5. Solid geometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solid_geometry

    Hyperboloid of one sheet. Solid geometry or stereometry is the geometry of three-dimensional Euclidean space (3D space). [1] A solid figure is the region of 3D space bounded by a two-dimensional closed surface; for example, a solid ball consists of a sphere and its interior.

  6. Parallelepiped - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parallelepiped

    Right rhombic prism: it has two rhombic faces and four congruent rectangular faces. Note: the fully rhombic special case, with two rhombic faces and four congruent square faces ( a = b = c ) {\displaystyle (a=b=c)} , has the same name, and the same symmetry group (D 2h , order 8).

  7. Allen's rule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allen's_rule

    Three rectangular prisms are each composed of eight unit cubes. A composite cube with a side of 2 has a volume of 8 units 3 but a surface area of only 24 units 2. A rectangular prism two cubes wide, one cube long and four cubes tall has the same volume, but a surface area of 28 units 2. Stacking them in a single column gives 34 units 2.

  8. Rhombicosidodecahedron - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhombicosidodecahedron

    Net In geometry , the Rhombicosidodecahedron is an Archimedean solid , one of thirteen convex isogonal nonprismatic solids constructed of two or more types of regular polygon faces . It has 20 regular triangular faces, 30 square faces, 12 regular pentagonal faces, 60 vertices , and 120 edges .

  9. Projected area - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Projected_area

    Projected area is the two dimensional area measurement of a three-dimensional object by projecting its shape on to an arbitrary plane. This is often used in mechanical engineering and architectural engineering related fields, especially for hardness testing, axial stress , wind pressures, and terminal velocity .
