  2. Pyramid (geometry) - Wikipedia

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

    The pyramid height is defined as the length of the line segment between the apex and its orthogonal projection on the base. Given that is the base's area and is the height of a pyramid, the volume of a pyramid is: [25] =. The volume of a pyramid was recorded back in ancient Egypt, where they calculated the volume of a square frustum, suggesting ...

  3. Frustum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frustum

    The volume of a conical or pyramidal frustum is the volume of the solid before slicing its "apex" off, minus the volume of this "apex": =, where B 1 and B 2 are the base and top areas, and h 1 and h 2 are the perpendicular heights from the apex to the base and top planes. Considering that

  4. Cubic pyramid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cubic_pyramid

    In 4-dimensional geometry, the cubic pyramid is bounded by one cube on the base and 6 square pyramid cells which meet at the apex. Since a cube has a circumradius divided by edge length less than one, [ 1 ] the square pyramids can be made with regular faces by computing the appropriate height.

  5. 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. Hyperpyramid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperpyramid

    2-dimensional hyperpyramid with a line segment as base 4-dimensional hyperpyramid with a cube as base. In geometry, a hyperpyramid is a generalisation of the normal pyramid to n dimensions. In the case of the pyramid one connects all vertices of the base (a polygon in a plane) to a point outside the plane, which is the peak. The pyramid's ...

    Utilizing the pyramid (or cone) volume formula of = ′, where is the infinitesimal area of each pyramidal base (located on the surface of the sphere) and ′ is the height of each pyramid from its base to its apex (at the center of the sphere).

  9. Solid angle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solid_angle

    The solid angle of a right n-gonal pyramid, where the pyramid base is a regular n-sided polygon of circumradius r, with a pyramid height h is Ω = 2 π − 2 n arctan ⁡ ( tan ⁡ ( π n ) 1 + r 2 h 2 ) . {\displaystyle \Omega =2\pi -2n\arctan \left({\frac {\tan \left({\pi \over n}\right)}{\sqrt {1+{r^{2} \over h^{2}}}}}\right).}
