  2. Cuboid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cuboid

    Etymologically, "cuboid" means "like a cube", in the sense of a convex solid which can be transformed into a cube (by adjusting the lengths of its edges and the angles between its adjacent faces). 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.

  3. 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 ...

  4. Euler brick - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euler_brick

    An almost-perfect cuboid has 6 out of the 7 lengths as rational. Such cuboids can be sorted into three types, called body, edge, and face cuboids. [14] In the case of the body cuboid, the body (space) diagonal g is irrational. For the edge cuboid, one of the edges a, b, c is irrational. The face cuboid has one of the face diagonals d, e, f ...

    h = the height of the semi-ellipsoid from the base cicle's center to the edge Solid paraboloid of revolution around z-axis: a = the radius of the base circle h = the height of the paboloid from the base cicle's center to the edge

  6. 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 ...

  7. The spider and the fly problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_spider_and_the_fly_problem

    In the typical version of the puzzle, an otherwise empty cuboid room 30 feet long, 12 feet wide and 12 feet high contains a spider and a fly. The spider is 1 foot below the ceiling and horizontally centred on one 12′×12′ wall. The fly is 1 foot above the floor and horizontally centred on the opposite wall.

    A former NASA commander has revealed that while piloting his private plane in Texas last summer he nearly had a collision with two mysterious “metallic, spherical orbs.”

  9. 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.
