  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

    Three squares of sides R can be cut and rearranged into a dodecagon of circumradius R, yielding a proof without words that its area is 3R 2. A regular dodecagon is a figure with sides of the same length and internal angles of the same size. It has twelve lines of reflective symmetry and rotational symmetry of order 12.

  4. 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 ...

  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 ...

    Star of David (example) Heptagram – star polygon with 7 sides; Octagram – star polygon with 8 sides Star of Lakshmi (example) Enneagram - star polygon with 9 sides; Decagram - star polygon with 10 sides; Hendecagram - star polygon with 11 sides; Dodecagram - star polygon with 12 sides; Apeirogon - generalized polygon with countably infinite ...

  7. Cavalieri's principle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cavalieri's_principle

    If one knows that the volume of a cone is (), then one can use Cavalieri's principle to derive the fact that the volume of a sphere is , where is the radius. That is done as follows: Consider a sphere of radius r {\displaystyle r} and a cylinder of radius r {\displaystyle r} and height r {\displaystyle r} .

  8. 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 ...

  9. 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
