Learn about the Math A prism is a polyhedron (solid whose faces are polygons) whose bases are congruent and parallel. When trying to identify a right prism, ask yourself if this solid could have right prism been created by placing many congruent sheets of paper on prism that has bases aligned one above the top of each other. If so, this is a right prism. Some examples other and has lateral of right prisms are shown below. faces that are rectangles Triangular prism Rectangular prism The surface area of a right prism can be calculated using the following formula: SA 5 2B 1 hP, where B is the area of the base, h is the height of the prism, and P is the perimeter of the base. The lateral area of a figure is the area of the non-base faces lateral area only. When a prism has its bases facing up and down, the area of the non-base faces of a figure lateral area is the area of the vertical faces. (For a rectangular prism, any pair of opposite faces can be bases.) The lateral area of a right prism can be calculated by multiplying the perimeter of the base by the height of the prism. This is summarized by the formula: LA 5 hP. Copyright © 2009 by Nelson Education Ltd.

  • THE GEOMETRY of PYRAMIDS One of the More Interesting Solid
    THE GEOMETRY OF PYRAMIDS One of the more interesting solid structures which has fascinated individuals for thousands of years going all the way back to the ancient Egyptians is the pyramid. It is a structure in which one takes a closed curve in the x-y plane and connects straight lines between every point on this curve and a fixed point P above the centroid of the curve. Classical pyramids such as the structures at Giza have square bases and lateral sides close in form to equilateral triangles. When the closed curve becomes a circle one obtains a cone and this cone becomes a cylindrical rod when point P is moved to infinity. It is our purpose here to discuss the properties of all N sided pyramids including their volume and surface area using only elementary calculus and geometry. Our starting point will be the following sketch- The base represents a regular N sided polygon with side length ‘a’ . The angle between neighboring radial lines r (shown in red) connecting the polygon vertices with its centroid is θ=2π/N. From this it follows, by the law of cosines, that the length r=a/sqrt[2(1- cos(θ))] . The area of the iscosolis triangle of sides r-a-r is- a a 2 a 2 1 cos( ) A r 2 T 2 4 4 (1 cos( ) From this we have that the area of the N sided polygon and hence the pyramid base will be- 2 2 1 cos( ) Na A N base 2 4 1 cos( ) N 2 It readily follows from this result that a square base N=4 has area Abase=a and a hexagon 2 base N=6 yields Abase= 3sqrt(3)a /2.

Pyramids, Area, and Volume The solids (space figures) shown in Figure 9.14 below are pyramids. In Figure 9.14(a), point A is noncoplanar with square base BCDE. In Figure 9.14(b), F is noncoplanar with its base, GHJ. (a) (b) Figure 9.14 3 Pyramids, Area, and Volume In each space pyramid, the noncoplanar point is joined to each vertex as well as each point of the base. A solid pyramid results when the noncoplanar point is joined both to points on the polygon as well as to points in its interior. Point A is known as the vertex or apex of the square pyramid; likewise, point F is the vertex or apex of the triangular pyramid. The pyramid of Figure 9.14(b) has four triangular faces; for this reason, it is called a tetrahedron. 4 Pyramids, Area, and Volume The pyramid in Figure 9.15 is a pentagonal pyramid. It has vertex K, pentagon LMNPQ for its base, and lateral edges and Although K is called the vertex of the pyramid, there are actually six vertices: K, L, M, N, P, and Q. Figure 9.15 The sides of the base and are base edges. 5 Pyramids, Area, and Volume All lateral faces of a pyramid are triangles; KLM is one of the five lateral faces of the pentagonal pyramid. Including base LMNPQ, this pyramid has a total of six faces. The altitude of the pyramid, of length h, is the line segment from the vertex K perpendicular to the plane of the base.

    1 Module-03 / Lecture-01 SOLIDS Introduction- This chapter deals with the orthographic projections of three – dimensional objects called solids. However, only those solids are considered the shape of which can be defined geometrically and are regular in nature. To understand and remember various solids in this subject properly, those are classified & arranged in to two major groups- Polyhedron- A polyhedron is defined as a solid bounded by planes called faces, which meet in straight lines called edges. Regular Polyhedron- It is polyhedron, having all the faces equal and regular. Tetrahedron- It is a solid, having four equal equilateral triangular faces. Cube- It is a solid, having six equal square faces. Octahedron- It is a solid, having eight equal equilateral triangular faces. Dodecahedron- It is a solid, having twelve equal pentagonal faces. Icosahedrons- It is a solid, having twenty equal equilateral triangular faces. Prism- This is a polyhedron, having two equal and similar regular polygons called its ends or bases, parallel to each other and joined by other faces which are rectangles. The imaginary line joining the centre of the bases is called the axis. A right and regular prism has its axis perpendicular to the base. All the faces are equal rectangles. 1 2 Pyramid- This is a polyhedron, having a regular polygon as a base and a number of triangular faces meeting at a point called the vertex or apex. The imaginary line joining the apex with the centre of the base is known as the axis. A right and regular pyramid has its axis perpendicular to the base which is a regular plane.

  • Apollonius of Pergaconics. Books One - Seven
    APOLLONIUS OF PERGACONICS. BOOKS ONE - SEVEN INTRODUCTION A. Apollonius at Perga Apollonius was born at Perga (Περγα) on the Southern coast of Asia Mi- nor, near the modern Turkish city of Bursa. Little is known about his life before he arrived in Alexandria, where he studied. Certain information about Apollonius’ life in Asia Minor can be obtained from his preface to Book 2 of Conics. The name “Apollonius”(Apollonius) means “devoted to Apollo”, similarly to “Artemius” or “Demetrius” meaning “devoted to Artemis or Demeter”. In the mentioned preface Apollonius writes to Eudemus of Pergamum that he sends him one of the books of Conics via his son also named Apollonius. The coincidence shows that this name was traditional in the family, and in all prob- ability Apollonius’ ancestors were priests of Apollo. Asia Minor during many centuries was for Indo-European tribes a bridge to Europe from their pre-fatherland south of the Caspian Sea. The Indo-European nation living in Asia Minor in 2nd and the beginning of the 1st millennia B.C. was usually called Hittites. Hittites are mentioned in the Bible and in Egyptian papyri. A military leader serving under the Biblical king David was the Hittite Uriah. His wife Bath- sheba, after his death, became the wife of king David and the mother of king Solomon. Hittites had a cuneiform writing analogous to the Babylonian one and hi- eroglyphs analogous to Egyptian ones. The Czech historian Bedrich Hrozny (1879-1952) who has deciphered Hittite cuneiform writing had established that the Hittite language belonged to the Western group of Indo-European languages [Hro].

  • Why Cells Are Small: Surface Area to Volume Ratios
    Name__________________________________ Why Cells are Small: Surface Area to Volume Ratios Today’s lab is about the size of cells. To understand this, we first have to understand surface area to volume ratios. Let’s start with surface area. Get a box of sugar cubes. The surface area of the cube is calculated by finding the area (length x width) of one side. But we want to know the whole surface. On a cube, there are 6 sides, so we multiply that area x 6. So Surface area of a cube = length x width x 6 Volume is another simple calculation – we just multiply length x width x height. Build the following four structures from your sugar cubes, and fill out the table below. The one we’re most interested in, though is the surface area to volume ratio, which is just Surface area ÷ volume A B C D 1 UNIT 2 UNITS 3 4 UNITS OR CM UNITS Figure Total number Surface area of Volume of Surface area to Total surface of Cubes figure figure Volume Ratio of individual (=6 x length x (= length x ( = SA / V) cubes* width) width x height) (= 6 * # cubes) A 1 6 1 6 1 B 8 24 8 3 48 C 27 54 27 2 162 64 96 64 1.5 384 D *because surface area of one cube is 6 Surface Area to Volume Lab Questions 1. What happened to the surface area as the size increased? It increased. 2. What happened to the volume as the size increased? It also increased, but not as quickly.

  • Surface Area of 3-D Objects: Prisms: a Prism Is a Polyhedron with Two Opposite Faces That Are Identical Polygonal Regions Called the Bases
    Surface Area of 3-d Objects: Prisms: A prism is a polyhedron with two opposite faces that are identical polygonal regions called the bases. The vertices of the bases are joined with segments to form the lateral faces which are parallelograms. If the lateral faces are rectangles, the prism is called a right prism, otherwise, it’s called an oblique prism. oblique right The surface area is the sum of the areas of the two bases and the areas of the lateral faces.
