  2. Frustum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frustum

    In geometry, a frustum (Latin for 'morsel'); [a] (pl.: frusta or frustums) is the portion of a solid (normally a pyramid or a cone) that lies between two parallel planes cutting the solid. In the case of a pyramid, the base faces are polygonal and the side faces are trapezoidal. A right frustum is a right pyramid or a right cone truncated ...

  3. Cone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cone

    A cone with a region including its apex cut off by a plane is called a truncated cone; if the truncation plane is parallel to the cone's base, it is called a frustum. [1] An elliptical cone is a cone with an elliptical base. [1] A generalized cone is the surface created by the set of lines passing through a vertex and every point on a boundary ...

  4. Pyramid (geometry) - Wikipedia

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

    In geometry, a pyramid is a polyhedron formed by connecting a polygonal base and a point, called the apex. Each base edge and apex form a triangle, called a lateral face. A pyramid is a conic solid with a polygonal base. Many types of pyramids can be found by determining the shape of bases, either by based on a regular polygon (regular pyramids ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spherical_cap

    Spherical cap. An example of a spherical cap in blue (and another in red) In geometry, a spherical cap or spherical dome is a portion of a sphere or of a ball cut off by a plane. It is also a spherical segment of one base, i.e., bounded by a single plane.

  6. Moscow Mathematical Papyrus - Wikipedia

    The fourteenth problem of the Moscow Mathematical calculates the volume of a frustum. Problem 14 states that a pyramid has been truncated in such a way that the top area is a square of length 2 units, the bottom a square of length 4 units, and the height 6 units, as shown. The volume is found to be 56 cubic units, which is correct. [1]

    Volume Cuboid: a, b = the sides of the cuboid's base ... Right circular solid cone: r = the radius of the cone's base h = the distance is from base to the apex ...

  8. Truncation (geometry) - Wikipedia

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

    Truncated square is a regular octagon: t {4} = {8} =. Truncated cube. t {4,3} or. Truncated cubic honeycomb. t {4,3,4} or. In geometry, a truncation is an operation in any dimension that cuts polytope vertices, creating a new facet in place of each vertex. The term originates from Kepler 's names for the Archimedean solids.

  9. Prism (geometry) - Wikipedia

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

    n. = 9. ) In geometry, a prism is a polyhedron comprising an n-sided polygon base, a second base which is a translated copy (rigidly moved without rotation) of the first, and n other faces, necessarily all parallelograms, joining corresponding sides of the two bases. All cross-sections parallel to the bases are translations of the bases.
