An elongated square pyramid, also known as a frustum of a square pyramid, is a three-dimensional geometric shape that results from cutting the top off a square pyramid parallel to its base. ### Characteristics of an Elongated Square Pyramid: 1. **Base**: The base is a square. 2. **Top Face**: The top face is also a square, but smaller than the base.
An enneagonal antiprism is a type of polyhedron that consists of two parallel enneagonal (9-sided) polygons connected by a band of triangles. In more specific terms, it is characterized by the following features: 1. **Base Polygons**: The top and bottom faces are both enneagons, meaning each has nine sides. 2. **Lateral Faces**: There are a series of triangular lateral faces that connect the corresponding vertices of the two enneagons.
The Great icosihemidodecacron, often referred to as a "great icosihemidodecahedron," is a complex geometric shape. It belongs to the category of convex polyhedra and is an Archimedean dual of the rhombicosidodecahedron. It is defined as a polyhedron with 62 faces consisting of 20 triangles, 30 squares, and 12 regular pentagons.
The Great Dodecicosacron is a convex polychoron, which is a four-dimensional analogue of a polyhedron. In simpler terms, it exists in four dimensions and is one of the many regular polychora, which are higher-dimensional counterparts to the regular polyhedra we know in three dimensions.
The great dodecicosahedron is a type of Archimedean solid, which is a convex polyhedron composed of regular polygons. Specifically, it is a combination of dodecagons and triangles. This solid has the following characteristics: - **Faces**: It consists of 12 regular dodecagon (12-sided) faces and 20 equilateral triangle faces. - **Edges**: The great dodecicosahedron has a total of 60 edges.
The great icosihemidodecahedron is a type of Archimedean solid, which is a convex polyhedron characterized by having regular polygons as its faces and exhibiting a high degree of symmetry. Specifically, it is one of the non-convex uniform polyhedra.
The Great Pentagrammic Hexecontahedron is a complex geometric shape classified as a non-convex polyhedron. It is part of a larger family of shapes known as polyhedra. Specifically, it is one of the Archimedean duals, sometimes referred to as the "dual polyhedra" of the great icosahedron.
The great rhombihexahedron is a type of convex polyhedron and is one of the Archimedean solids. It is characterized by having 12 faces, all of which are rhombuses, and a total of 24 edges and 14 vertices. The great rhombihexahedron has a unique and symmetrical geometric structure. Its vertices can be described using a specific set of coordinates in three-dimensional space.
A hexagonal antiprism is a type of polyhedron that consists of two hexagonal bases connected by a band of triangles. This polyhedron is part of the family of antiprisms, which are defined geometrically as having two congruent polygonal bases that are parallel and aligned, but are rotated relative to each other.
The gyroelongated pentagonal birotunda is a complex geometric shape that falls under the category of Archimedean solids. Specifically, it is a convex polyhedron that features two types of faces—pentagons and hexagons. Here are some key characteristics of the gyroelongated pentagonal birotunda: 1. **Faces**: It has a total of 30 faces—20 hexagonal faces and 10 pentagonal faces. The arrangement gives it a distinct appearance.
A **gyroelongated pyramid** is a type of convex polyhedron that can be classified within the category of prisms and pyramids in geometry. Specifically, it can be thought of as an extension of a pyramid. In a gyroelongated pyramid: 1. **Base**: The base is a polygon, typically a regular polygon. 2. **Apex**: It has an apex point directly above the centroid of the base, similar to a traditional pyramid.
The inverted snub dodecadodecahedron is a non-regular polyhedron that falls under the category of Archimedean solids. Specifically, it is a type of snub polyhedron, which features a regular arrangement of faces and vertices but does not have all faces the same or all vertices identical.
The medial pentagonal hexecontahedron is a type of Archimedean solid. It is characterized by having both pentagonal and hexagonal faces. Specifically, it features 12 regular pentagonal faces and 60 regular hexagonal faces. The name "medial" indicates that it can be derived from another polyhedron by taking the midpoints of the edges of that polyhedron, a property shared among the medial forms of various solids.
The term "metabidiminished icosahedron" appears to refer to a geometric shape derived from the icosahedron, one of the five Platonic solids. The icosahedron is a three-dimensional shape with 20 triangular faces, 12 vertices, and 30 edges. The prefix "meta-" and the term "diminished" often indicate some transformation of the original shape.
The small hexacronic icosatetrahedron is a type of convex polyhedron classified as one of the Archimedean solids. It is a member of a group characterized by having regular polygonal faces and vertex arrangements that are consistent throughout the solid. Specifically, the small hexacronic icosatetrahedron is made up of: - 24 faces, consisting of 8 hexagons and 16 triangles. - 48 edges. - 24 vertices.
A parabiaugmented hexagonal prism is a type of polyhedron that is derived from a hexagonal prism by adding two additional faces based on parabolic shapes. The base of the prism consists of two hexagonal faces connected by six rectangular faces, similar to a standard hexagonal prism. The term "parabiaugmented" indicates that the top and bottom hexagonal faces are augmented or extended with parabolic shapes.
The pentagonal orthobirotunda is a type of convex polyhedron in geometry. Specifically, it is one of the Archimedean solids, characterized by its vertex configuration and symmetry. Here are some key features of the pentagonal orthobirotunda: 1. **Faces**: It has 20 faces comprised of 10 triangles and 10 pentagons. 2. **Vertices**: The orthobirotunda has 30 vertices.
A prismatic compound of prisms refers to a geometric arrangement or structure made up of multiple prisms that interact with light in interesting ways. In optics, a prism is a transparent optical element that refracts light. When multiple prisms are combined, they can create a prismatic compound that manipulates light in complex ways, potentially leading to various optical effects, such as dispersion (separating light into its constituent colors), total internal reflection, or altering the direction of light beams.
Pinned article: Introduction to the OurBigBook Project
Welcome to the OurBigBook Project! Our goal is to create the perfect publishing platform for STEM subjects, and get university-level students to write the best free STEM tutorials ever.
Everyone is welcome to create an account and play with the site: ourbigbook.com/go/register. We belive that students themselves can write amazing tutorials, but teachers are welcome too. You can write about anything you want, it doesn't have to be STEM or even educational. Silly test content is very welcome and you won't be penalized in any way. Just keep it legal!
Intro to OurBigBook
. Source. We have two killer features:
- topics: topics group articles by different users with the same title, e.g. here is the topic for the "Fundamental Theorem of Calculus" ourbigbook.com/go/topic/fundamental-theorem-of-calculusArticles of different users are sorted by upvote within each article page. This feature is a bit like:
- a Wikipedia where each user can have their own version of each article
- a Q&A website like Stack Overflow, where multiple people can give their views on a given topic, and the best ones are sorted by upvote. Except you don't need to wait for someone to ask first, and any topic goes, no matter how narrow or broad
This feature makes it possible for readers to find better explanations of any topic created by other writers. And it allows writers to create an explanation in a place that readers might actually find it.Figure 1. Screenshot of the "Derivative" topic page.
