  2. Packing problems - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Packing_problems

    Packing different rectangles in a rectangle: The problem of packing multiple rectangles of varying widths and heights in an enclosing rectangle of minimum area (but with no boundaries on the enclosing rectangle's width or height) has an important application in combining images into a single larger image. A web page that loads a single larger ...

  3. The spider and the fly problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_spider_and_the_fly_problem

    Depending on the dimensions of the cuboid, and on the initial positions of the spider and fly, one or another of these paths, or of four other paths, may be the optimal solution. [4] However, there is no rectangular cuboid, and two points on the cuboid, for which the shortest path passes through all six faces of the cuboid.

  4. Rectangular cuboid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rectangular_cuboid

    A rectangular cuboid with integer edges, as well as integer face diagonals, is called an Euler brick; for example with sides 44, 117, and 240. A perfect cuboid is an Euler brick whose space diagonal is also an integer. It is currently unknown whether a perfect cuboid actually exists. [6] The number of different nets for a simple cube is 11 ...

  5. Cube - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cube

    The volume of a cuboid is the product of its length, width, and height. Because all the edges of a cube are equal in length, it is: [ 4 ] V = a 3 . {\displaystyle V=a^{3}.} One special case is the unit cube , so-named for measuring a single unit of length along each edge.

  6. Cuboid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cuboid

    A cuboid is a convex polyhedron whose polyhedral graph is the same as that of a cube. [1] [2] General cuboids have many different types. When all of the rectangular cuboid's edges are equal in length, it results in a cube, with six square faces and adjacent faces meeting at right angles.

  7. Hoffman's packing puzzle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hoffman's_packing_puzzle

    The puzzle itself consists only of 27 identical rectangular cuboid-shaped blocks, although physical realizations of the puzzle also typically supply a cubical box to fit the blocks into. If the three lengths of the block edges are x , y , and z , then the cube should have edge length x + y + z .

  8. Bounding volume - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bounding_volume

    A bounding box or minimum bounding box (MBB) is a cuboid, or in 2-D a rectangle, containing the object. In dynamical simulation, bounding boxes are preferred to other shapes of bounding volume such as bounding spheres or cylinders for objects that are roughly cuboid in shape when the intersection test needs to be fairly accurate. The benefit is ...

  9. Padovan cuboid spiral - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Padovan_cuboid_spiral

    The height of the nth added cuboid is the nth Padovan number. [ 1 ] [ 3 ] Connecting alternate points where the spiral bends creates a series of triangles, where each triangle has two sides that are successive Padovan numbers and that has an obtuse angle of 120 degrees between these two sides.
