The Mars Pentad Time Pyramids The Mars Pentad Time Pyramids The Quantum Space Time Fractal Harmonic Codex The Pentagonal Pyramid, The Pentagonal Prismatic Crystal, Tetra Phihedral Pyramids, Tetra Phihedral Pyramidal Crystallization Abstract: An addendum to the Mars Pentad Time Pyramids Pentagonal Pyramid pdf . This is an expansion of the geometry as masterpieces of tetrahedral geometry, unveiled into pyramids and crystallizations. Exhibiting evidences of the Harmonic Codex using the Mars sidereal [687] days in the pyramid base itself, this fine display of pyramids emulates the tetrahedral nature of the Mars Pentad landforms themselves, and attempted to be executed artistically by hand. Using [Pi] in the base as [7 / Pi] for the angle formulas on this pentagonal pyramid, There is a microcosmic factor of error with the base angle being [54 .01] degrees. This gives us a [540.1] degree pentagon, but pentagonal angle [54] is achieved. When using [aPi] in the formulas the angle of [54 .00] is reached! [aPi] = [22 /7] Using Ancient Pi as [aPi] = [22 / 7], The Pentagonal Prism is initiated by creating the Face Fronts as Pyramid bases. The Harmonic Codex reveals the Mars sidereal mathematically integrated into the pyramid bases for the pentagonal prism face fronts. Previous pdf, and shown here are Pentagonal Pyramids which may be attached to the top and bottom of the pentagonal Prism. After this image are optional square base pyramids to attach to the Pentagional Prism 2 Phi square face fronts. This pyramid can be a choice to attach to the Pentagonal Prism Face Fronts. When the Height is sine [54] degrees or that = [Phi / 2], The tetrahedral angle [19 .47122061] becomes angle [x] as shown, the angle at the bottom of the Pyramid Side Angle. Using height sqrt. [40Pi /3] which = 4 [Phi], the tetrahedral angle flips. Note: [40Pi / 3] = [6 .472086375] = close enough to = [6 .472135956] = 4 [Phi]. Using my new value for Pi proposed as True Pi = [3 .141640787], The values become EXACT. The Side Face Angle is Mars Pentad [26 .56505~] degrees when H = sin[54]. This is probably the optimum pyramid to utilize in attaching to face fronts of either the Pentagonal Prism or the Cubic Platonic Solid. I have not completely determined the interior packing of the Pentagonal Prism. For certain there will be Five, [2 Phi] square base Pyramids packing the interior with Side face pentagonal angles of [54] degrees, by virtue of height [Phi]. This should leave a space above that packing and below it, to fill with a reverse pentagonal pyramid of the proper dimensions, which is most likely this pentagonal pyramid here. The tetrahedral angle created by the [1 by Sqrt2] triangle with hypotenuse square root [3], is displayed here with two different heights, Phi and 2 Phi. The [Phi] height creates Side Face Angles of [45] degrees, And the [2 PHI] height FLIPS the tetrahedral angles, and creates the Side Face angle as [26 .5] degrees. These two are the same pyramid as shown just previous to the prior page. Here is an attempt to just give a better perspective of the comparative geometries, and how the tetrahedral angles flip positions with exclusive heights geared towards multiples of Phi. These can be attached to the pentagonal prism, or the Cubic Platonic Solid to create the crystallizations. The optimum pyramid however remains the one in the prior page. This is the central cubic Platonic Solid that the pyramids will be attached to to attain the Tetra Phihedral Platonic Solid Crystallization. Attached to the face fronts will be pyramids of [Phi] height, thus accomplishing a reflective pyramid on all sides, inside and out! Note: This diagram shows the true exterior lengths, but the interior is shown as a correlation to the identical tetrahedral geometry. Thus the interior packed pyramid heights would also be height of [Phi], and in place of sqrt. [2], would be the length [a] = [2 .288245612], etc. Angle’s [x] and [y] follow the tetrahedral geometry created by a [2 Phi] square base, and uses Height [Phi]. A variety of tetrahedral pyramids can be attached to this, but the optimum uses height [Phi] as a perfection of reflective geometries. Shown above is how the various pyramids created will attach directly to a central cubic Platonic solid to form a Crystallization of the Six Pointed Star, often refered to as Mars when seen in ancient Sumerian stele or cylinder seals, as according to the Sitchin translations. It should be noted that most cylinder seal iconographies of the Gods holding the Seven Dots as Earth, are accompanied by a God holding up an eight pointed star. That would be Saturn, in congruity to planetary calendar functions and this is why the Greeks and Romans named Saturn Chronos. Below are a series of pentagonal pyramids which display “coincident” denominators with the common numerator [19 .47122061], which is the exact tetrahedral angle often referred to as [19 .5] degrees. This series of heights applied to the pentagonal pyramids proves many aspects of both the “decimal variation” system, and the Harmonic Codex. For instance, denominator [7 .07106781], is also known as sin and cos [45] degrees, which is [0 .707106781]. NOTE: Ancient Pi or [aPi] works as well! In the above pyramids is denominator Sqrt. [16 .6666]. The decimal variation system reaches into the square roots as well. The Mars Pentad angles [30 / 18] = [1 .66666]. That value surfs through the planetary timelines. Mars synod [780] x [1.6666] = [1300]. My Jupiter sidereal [4333 .333333] / by [16 .66666] = [260] Tzolkin. = [20] x [13]. Bottom left a pyramid is shown which has the reverse angle of the Great Giza pyramid in the 5 Side Angles. From these constructs a new pentagonal pyramid base is assembled on the right to force the Giza reverse angle to flip, and become the Side Face Angle! So below is the resultant Pentagonal Pyramid with the Side face slopes exacted to the Giza pyramid slopes. Mars [780] synod x [5 .55555~] = [4333 .33333] Jupiter. This Pyramid is slope arctangent Sqrt. [1.62], where [1 .62] = [aPhi] = ancient Phi! Height denominator [5 .55555~] x [780] Mars synod = [4333 .33333] Jupiter sidereal. NOTE: length C has been optimized to equal Sqrt[2] x [1 .947122061] = [2 .753646426], over the original value of C = [2 .753683349] from the previous page. This is because once the pyramid base was extrapolated from the previous criteria which were dependant upon [7 / aPi] and [Phi] in the original [54] degree pentagon angle, {clearly shown in the prior pages}, the author was able to isolate the “Coincident” value with “Harmonic Codexing” extrapolations to find that Sqrt[2] x [1 .947122061] equaled essentially so very close to the original [c] length of [2 .753683349], such that I used Sqrt[2] x [1 .947122061] as length [c] instead, which still retains the pentagon base [54 .00~] degree angle, and the creates the slope of the Great Giza Pyramid to EXACTLY arctangent sqrt [1 .62] = [51 .844~] degrees! USING HEIGHT [1 .947122061], the tetrahedral angles of the [1 by sqrt2] triangle with hypotenuse sqrt [3] are achieved exact! REMEMBER !!! If you do the math, numbers like [5 .55555~], MUST be punched into the calculator as the full value extent =[5 .555555555~] = [50 /9]. Phi is valued at [1 .618033989] Unbelieveably, the reverse angle of B, described as angle Ba in the diagram:, when Ba value [44 .15820411] is squared = [1950] essentially. Also of interest using Height [19 .47122061] divided by [5 .55555] = [3 .50481971]: Using Tzolkin [260] divided by [120] = [2 .166666~], then x [Phi] = [3 .5057403]! Also [4333 .3333~] Jupiter sidereal = [216 .66666~ ] x [20]. The Side Angle Length and the Side Face Length are also shown with close correlations. Conclusively, the mathematics in all the pyramids go a long way to giving solid evidence for the validity of the Harmonic Codexing process, and the decimal variation system. The establishment of using tetrahedral [19 .47122061], and it’s decimal variant [1 .947122061], as lengths and not angles, proves that the number is an universal mathematic constant on the level of Phi, Pi, and [e], by virtue of the tetrahedral constant literally Quantum Fractal Harmonic Time surfing through the pyramids and various formulas already registered in the previous pdf.s, to include the Solfeggio frequencies [852] and [528], and [639] and [396]. [852] / by [528] = [x], then [x] times [1 .947122061] = [Pi], off by [0 .00035]. Or, [639] / by [396] = [x], then x [19 .47122061] = 10] Pi]. In the next pyramid below, I reduce the size of the sides of the pentagon base by half, to see what happens with a pure [54] degree angle. All the previous pyramids got to [54 .00~] degrees but not exactly perfect: Previous page pyramid, for pentagon corner angle = arctan [C] / by [2], = [54 .008]. Close enough indeed, and I don’t think anyone will argue with that close exactness. However I performed the operation in the next pyramid, and the resultant angle is [51 .853] degrees, fully [1 / 100th] of a degree off! Be sure to notice again what the Mars and Jupiter synod of [816 .5] days accomplishes in Harmonic Codexing! Also note that Mars Pentad Angle [26 .5] is utilized in a novel fashion such that it works like a constant as well, and squared = [702 .25], which is extremely close to the important Mayan Dresden Codex [702]. This a study on numbers for a pyramid that just popped up in Harmonic Codexing. The above value of [a] = [3 .6522~] correlates the Earth year of [365 .22] days. One obviously finds many values attributed to the Earth Year: I have seen [365 .24] , and [365 .2422], and others.

  • 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.

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.

  • VOLUME of POLYHEDRA USING a TETRAHEDRON BREAKUP We
    VOLUME OF POLYHEDRA USING A TETRAHEDRON BREAKUP We have shown in an earlier note that any two dimensional polygon of N sides may be broken up into N-2 triangles T by drawing N-3 lines L connecting every second vertex. Thus the irregular pentagon shown has N=5,T=3, and L=2- With this information, one is at once led to the question-“ How can the volume of any polyhedron in 3D be determined using a set of smaller 3D volume elements”. These smaller 3D eelements are likely to be tetrahedra . This leads one to the conjecture that – A polyhedron with more four faces can have its volume represented by the sum of a certain number of sub-tetrahedra. The volume of any tetrahedron is given by the scalar triple product |V1xV2∙V3|/6, where the three Vs are vector representations of the three edges of the tetrahedron emanating from the same vertex. Here is a picture of one of these tetrahedra- Note that the base area of such a tetrahedron is given by |V1xV2]/2. When this area is multiplied by 1/3 of the height related to the third vector one finds the volume of any tetrahedron given by- x1 y1 z1 (V1xV2 ) V3 Abs Vol = x y z 6 6 2 2 2 x3 y3 z3 , where x,y, and z are the vector components. The next question which arises is how many tetrahedra are required to completely fill a polyhedron? We can arrive at an answer by looking at several different examples. Starting with one of the simplest examples consider the double-tetrahedron shown- It is clear that the entire volume can be generated by two equal volume tetrahedra whose vertexes are placed at [0,0,sqrt(2/3)] and [0,0,-sqrt(2/3)].

  • 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.

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.

  • 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.

The Theorem of Cosines for Pyramids Alexander Kheyfits (alexander.kheyfi[email protected]), Bronx Community College, CUNY, Bronx, NY 10453 The classical three-millennia-old Pythagorean theorem is still irresistibly attractive for lovers of mathematics—see, for example, [1] or a recent survey [8] for its numer- ous old and new generalizations. It can be extended to 3-space in various ways. A straightforward extension states that the square of a diagonal of a right rectangular parallelepiped is equal to the sum of squares of its adjacent edges. A less trivial gener- alization is the following result, which can be found in good collections of geometric problems as well as in a popular calculus textbook [7, p. 858]: (PTT) The Pythagorean theorem for tetrahedra with a trirectangular ver- tex. In a tetrahedron with a trirectangular vertex, the square of the area of the op- posite face to this vertex is equal to the sum of the squares of the areas of three other faces.

  • Putting the Icosahedron Into the Octahedron
    Forum Geometricorum Volume 17 (2017) 63–71. FORUM GEOM ISSN 1534-1178 Putting the Icosahedron into the Octahedron Paris Pamfilos Abstract. We compute the dimensions of a regular tetragonal pyramid, which allows a cut by a plane along a regular pentagon. In addition, we relate this construction to a simple construction of the icosahedron and make a conjecture on the impossibility to generalize such sections of regular pyramids. 1. Pentagonal sections The present discussion could be entitled Organizing calculations with Menelaos, and originates from a problem from the book of Sharygin [2, p. 147], in which it is required to construct a pentagonal section of a regular pyramid with quadrangular F J I D T L C K H E M a x A G B U V Figure 1. Pentagonal section of quadrangular pyramid basis. The basis of the pyramid is a square of side-length a and the pyramid is assumed to be regular, i.e. its apex F is located on the orthogonal at the center E of the square at a distance h = |EF| from it (See Figure 1). The exercise asks for the determination of the height h if we know that there is a section GHIJK of the pyramid by a plane which is a regular pentagon. The section is tacitly assumed to be symmetric with respect to the diagonal symmetry plane AF C of the pyramid and defined by a plane through the three points K, G, I.

  • Icosahedron Is the Most Complicated of the Five Regular Platonic Solids
    PROPERTIES AND CONSTRUCTION OF ICOSAHEDRA The icosahedron is the most complicated of the five regular platonic solids. It consists of twenty equilateral triangle faces (F=20), a total of twelve vertices (V=12), and thirty edges (E=30). That is, it satisfies the Euler Formula that F+V-E=2. To construct this 3D figure one needs to first locate the coordinates of its vertices and thern can tile the structure with simple equilateral triangles. We will do this in the present article using a somewhat different than usual approach via cylindrical coordinates. As a starting point we look at the following schematic of an icosahedron- We draw a polar axis through the figure passing through the top and bottom vertex point. Also we notice that the top and bottom of the figure consists of a pentagonal pyramid of height c. the height of the girth of the figure is taken as d so that the circumscribing sphere has diameter D=2R=2c+d. All twelve vertices of the icosahedron lie on this sphere. Looking at the pentagon base of the upper cap, we take the length of each side of the pentagon to be one. This means that the distance from each of the pentagon vertex points to the polar axis is – 1 2 b 0.8506508... 2sin( / 5) 5 5 5 Here =[1+sqrt(5)]/2=1.61803398.. is the well known Golden Ratio The distance from the middle of one of the pentagon edges to the polar axis is- 1 1 1 3 4 a 0.68819096..
