  • 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.

Archimedean Solids Anna Anderson In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Master of Arts in Teaching with a Specialization in the Teaching of Middle Level Mathematics in the Department of Mathematics. Jim Lewis, Advisor July 2008 2 Archimedean Solids A polygon is a simple, closed, planar figure with sides formed by joining line segments, where each line segment intersects exactly two others. If all of the sides have the same length and all of the angles are congruent, the polygon is called regular. The sum of the angles of a regular polygon with n sides, where n is 3 or more, is 180° x (n – 2) degrees. If a regular polygon were connected with other regular polygons in three dimensional space, a polyhedron could be created. In geometry, a polyhedron is a three- dimensional solid which consists of a collection of polygons joined at their edges. The word polyhedron is derived from the Greek word poly (many) and the Indo-European term hedron (seat).

  • Systematics of Atomic Orbital Hybridization of Coordination Polyhedra: Role of F Orbitals
    molecules Article Systematics of Atomic Orbital Hybridization of Coordination Polyhedra: Role of f Orbitals R. Bruce King Department of Chemistry, University of Georgia, Athens, GA 30602, USA; [email protected] Academic Editor: Vito Lippolis Received: 4 June 2020; Accepted: 29 June 2020; Published: 8 July 2020 Abstract: The combination of atomic orbitals to form hybrid orbitals of special symmetries can be related to the individual orbital polynomials. Using this approach, 8-orbital cubic hybridization can be shown to be sp3d3f requiring an f orbital, and 12-orbital hexagonal prismatic hybridization can be shown to be sp3d5f2g requiring a g orbital. The twists to convert a cube to a square antiprism and a hexagonal prism to a hexagonal antiprism eliminate the need for the highest nodality orbitals in the resulting hybrids. A trigonal twist of an Oh octahedron into a D3h trigonal prism can involve a gradual change of the pair of d orbitals in the corresponding sp3d2 hybrids. A similar trigonal twist of an Oh cuboctahedron into a D3h anticuboctahedron can likewise involve a gradual change in the three f orbitals in the corresponding sp3d5f3 hybrids. Keywords: coordination polyhedra; hybridization; atomic orbitals; f-block elements 1. Introduction In a series of papers in the 1990s, the author focused on the most favorable coordination polyhedra for sp3dn hybrids, such as those found in transition metal complexes. Such studies included an investigation of distortions from ideal symmetries in relatively symmetrical systems with molecular orbital degeneracies [1] In the ensuing quarter century, interest in actinide chemistry has generated an increasing interest in the involvement of f orbitals in coordination chemistry [2–7].

  • Math 366 Lecture Notes Section 11.4 – Geometry in Three Dimensions
    Section 11-4 Math 366 Lecture Notes Section 11.4 – Geometry in Three Dimensions Simple Closed Surfaces A simple closed surface has exactly one interior, no holes, and is hollow. A sphere is the set of all points at a given distance from a given point, the center . A sphere is a simple closed surface. A solid is a simple closed surface with all interior points. (see p. 726) A polyhedron is a simple closed surface made up of polygonal regions, or faces . The vertices of the polygonal regions are the vertices of the polyhedron, and the sides of each polygonal region are the edges of the polyhedron. (see p. 726-727) A prism is a polyhedron in which two congruent faces lie in parallel planes and the other faces are bounded by parallelograms. The parallel faces of a prism are the bases of the prism. A prism is usually names after its bases. The faces other than the bases are the lateral faces of a prism. A right prism is one in which the lateral faces are all bounded by rectangles. An oblique prism is one in which some of the lateral faces are not bounded by rectangles. To draw a prism: 1) Draw one of the bases. 2) Draw vertical segments of equal length from each vertex. 3) Connect the bottom endpoints to form the second base. Use dashed segments for edges that cannot be seen. A pyramid is a polyhedron determined by a polygon and a point not in the plane of the polygon. The pyramid consists of the triangular regions determined by the point and each pair of consecutive vertices of the polygon and the polygonal region determined by the polygon.

  • 10-4 Surface and Lateral Area of Prism and Cylinders.Pdf
    Aim: How do we evaluate and solve problems involving surface area of prisms an cylinders? Objective: Learn and apply the formula for the surface area of a prism. Learn and apply the formula for the surface area of a cylinder. Vocabulary: lateral face, lateral edge, right prism, oblique prism, altitude, surface area, lateral surface, axis of a cylinder, right cylinder, oblique cylinder. Prisms and cylinders have 2 congruent parallel bases. A lateral face is not a base. The edges of the base are called base edges. A lateral edge is not an edge of a base. The lateral faces of a right prism are all rectangles. An oblique prism has at least one nonrectangular lateral face. An altitude of a prism or cylinder is a perpendicular segment joining the planes of the bases. The height of a three-dimensional figure is the length of an altitude. Surface area is the total area of all faces and curved surfaces of a three-dimensional figure. The lateral area of a prism is the sum of the areas of the lateral faces. Holt Geometry The net of a right prism can be drawn so that the lateral faces form a rectangle with the same height as the prism. The base of the rectangle is equal to the perimeter of the base of the prism. The surface area of a right rectangular prism with length ℓ, width w, and height h can be written as S = 2ℓw + 2wh + 2ℓh. The surface area formula is only true for right prisms. To find the surface area of an oblique prism, add the areas of the faces.

  • The Mars Pentad Time Pyramids the Quantum Space Time Fractal Harmonic Codex the Pentagonal Pyramid
    The Mars Pentad Time Pyramids The Quantum Space Time Fractal Harmonic Codex The Pentagonal Pyramid Abstract: Early in this author’s labors while attempting to create the original Mars Pentad Time Pyramids document and pyramid drawings, a failure was experienced trying to develop a pentagonal pyramid with some form of tetrahedral geometry. This pentagonal pyramid is now approached again and refined to this tetrahedral criteria, creating tetrahedral angles in the pentagonal pyramid, and pentagonal [54] degree angles in the pentagon base for the pyramid. In the process another fine pentagonal pyramid was developed with pure pentagonal geometries using the value for ancient Egyptian Pyramid Pi = [22 / 7] = [aPi]. Also used is standard modern Pi and modern Phi in one of the two pyramids shown. Introduction: Achieved are two Pentagonal Pyramids: One creates tetrahedral angle [54 .735~] in the Side Angle {not the Side Face Angle}, using a novel height of the value of tetrahedral angle [19 .47122061] / by [5], and then the reverse tetrahedral angle is accomplished with the same tetrahedral [19 .47122061] angle value as the height, but “Harmonic Codexed” to [1 .947122061]! This achievement of using the second height mentioned, proves aspects of the Quantum Space Time Fractal Harmonic Codex. Also used is Height = [2], which replicates the [36] and [54] degree angles in the pentagon base to the Side Angles of the Pentagonal Pyramid. I have come to understand that there is not a “perfect” pentagonal pyramid. No matter what mathematical constants or geometry values used, there will be a slight factor of error inherent in the designs trying to attain tetrahedra.

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.

  • Unit 6 Visualising Solid Shapes(Final)
    • 3D shapes/objects are those which do not lie completely in a plane. • 3D objects have different views from different positions. • A solid is a polyhedron if it is made up of only polygonal faces, the faces meet at edges which are line segments and the edges meet at a point called vertex. • Euler’s formula for any polyhedron is, F + V – E = 2 Where F stands for number of faces, V for number of vertices and E for number of edges. • Types of polyhedrons: (a) Convex polyhedron A convex polyhedron is one in which all faces make it convex. e.g. (1) (2) (3) (4) 12/04/18 (1) and (2) are convex polyhedrons whereas (3) and (4) are non convex polyhedron. (b) Regular polyhedra or platonic solids: A polyhedron is regular if its faces are congruent regular polygons and the same number of faces meet at each vertex. For example, a cube is a platonic solid because all six of its faces are congruent squares. There are five such solids– tetrahedron, cube, octahedron, dodecahedron and icosahedron. e.g. • A prism is a polyhedron whose bottom and top faces (known as bases) are congruent polygons and faces known as lateral faces are parallelograms (when the side faces are rectangles, the shape is known as right prism). • A pyramid is a polyhedron whose base is a polygon and lateral faces are triangles. • A map depicts the location of a particular object/place in relation to other objects/places. The front, top and side of a figure are shown. Use centimetre cubes to build the figure.
