Elongated Square Cupola
In geometry, the elongated square cupola is a polyhedron constructed from an octagonal prism by attaching square cupola onto its base. It is an example of Johnson solid. Construction The elongated square cupola is constructed from an octagonal prism by attaching a square cupola onto one of its bases, a process known as the elongation. This cupola covers the octagonal face so that the resulting polyhedron has four equilateral triangles, thirteen squares, and one regular octagon. It can also be constructed by removing a square cupola from a rhombicuboctahedron, which would also make it a diminished rhombicuboctahedron. A convex polyhedron in which all of the faces are regular polygons is the Johnson solid. The elongated square cupola is one of them, enumerated as the nineteenth Johnson solid J_ .

Johnson Solid
In geometry, a Johnson solid, sometimes also known as a Johnson–Zalgaller solid, is a convex polyhedron whose faces are regular polygons. They are sometimes defined to exclude the uniform polyhedrons. There are ninety-two Solid geometry, solids with such a property: the first solids are the Pyramid (geometry), pyramids, Cupola (geometry), cupolas, and a Rotunda (geometry), rotunda; some of the solids may be constructed by attaching with those previous solids, whereas others may not. Definition and background A Johnson solid is a convex polyhedron whose faces are all regular polygons. The convex polyhedron means as bounded intersections of finitely many Half-space (geometry), half-spaces, or as the convex hull of finitely many points. Although there is no restriction that any given regular polygon cannot be a face of a Johnson solid, some authors required that Johnson solids are not Uniform polyhedron, uniform. This means that a Johnson solid is not a Platonic solid, Arc ... [...More Info...]       [...Related Items...]     OR:     [Wikipedia]   [Google]   [Baidu]   |

Surface Area
The surface area (symbol ''A'') of a solid object is a measure of the total area that the surface of the object occupies. 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 flat polygonal faces), for which the surface area is the sum of the areas of its faces. Smooth surfaces, such as a sphere, are assigned surface area using their representation as parametric surfaces. This definition of surface area is based on methods of infinitesimal calculus and involves partial derivatives and double integration. A general definition of surface area was sought by Henri Lebesgue and Hermann Minkowski at the turn of the twentieth century. Their work led to the development of geometric measure theory, which studies various notions of surface area for irregular objects of any dimension. An important example is ...

Regular Polygon
In Euclidean geometry, a regular polygon is a polygon that is Equiangular polygon, direct equiangular (all angles are equal in measure) and Equilateral polygon, equilateral (all sides have the same length). Regular polygons may be either ''convex polygon, convex'' or ''star polygon, star''. In the limit (mathematics), limit, a sequence of regular polygons with an increasing number of sides approximates a circle, if the perimeter or area is fixed, or a regular apeirogon (effectively a Line (geometry), straight line), if the edge length is fixed. General properties These properties apply to all regular polygons, whether convex or star polygon, star: *A regular ''n''-sided polygon has rotational symmetry of order ''n''. *All vertices of a regular polygon lie on a common circle (the circumscribed circle); i.e., they are concyclic points. That is, a regular polygon is a cyclic polygon. *Together with the property of equal-length sides, this implies that every regular polygon also h ...

Rhombicuboctahedron
In geometry, the rhombicuboctahedron is an Archimedean solid with 26 faces, consisting of 8 equilateral triangles and 18 squares. It was named by Johannes Kepler in his 1618 Harmonices Mundi, being short for ''truncated cuboctahedral rhombus'', with cuboctahedral rhombus being his name for a rhombic dodecahedron. The rhombicuboctahedron is an Archimedean solid, and its dual is a Catalan solid, the deltoidal icositetrahedron. The elongated square gyrobicupola is a polyhedron that is similar to a rhombicuboctahedron, but it is not an Archimedean solid because it is not vertex-transitive. The rhombicuboctahedron is found in diverse cultures in architecture, toys, the arts, and elsewhere. Construction The rhombicuboctahedron may be constructed from a cube by drawing a smaller one in the middle of each face, parallel to the cube's edges. After removing the edges of a cube, the squares may be joined by adding more squares adjacent between them, and the corners may be filled by th ...

Regular Octagon
In geometry, an octagon () is an eight-sided polygon or 8-gon. A ''regular polygon, regular octagon'' has Schläfli symbol and can also be constructed as a quasiregular Truncation (geometry), truncated square, t, which alternates two types of edges. A truncated octagon, t is a hexadecagon, . A 3D analog of the octagon can be the rhombicuboctahedron with the triangular faces on it like the replaced edges, if one considers the octagon to be a truncated square. Properties The sum of all the internal angles of any octagon is 1080°. As with all polygons, the external angles total 360°. If squares are constructed all internally or all externally on the sides of an octagon, then the midpoints of the segments connecting the centers of opposite squares form a quadrilateral that is both equidiagonal quadrilateral, equidiagonal and orthodiagonal quadrilateral, orthodiagonal (that is, whose diagonals are equal in length and at right angles to each other).Dao Thanh Oai (2015), "Equila ...

Square
In geometry, a square is a regular polygon, regular quadrilateral. It has four straight sides of equal length and four equal angles. Squares are special cases of rectangles, which have four equal angles, and of rhombuses, which have four equal sides. As with all rectangles, a square's angles are right angles (90 degree (angle), degrees, or Pi, /2 radians), making adjacent sides perpendicular. The area of a square is the side length multiplied by itself, and so in algebra, multiplying a number by itself is called square (algebra), squaring. Equal squares can tile the plane edge-to-edge in the square tiling. Square tilings are ubiquitous in tiled floors and walls, graph paper, image pixels, and game boards. Square shapes are also often seen in building floor plans, origami paper, food servings, in graphic design and heraldry, and in instant photos and fine art. The formula for the area of a square forms the basis of the calculation of area and motivates the search for methods for s ...

Equilateral Triangle
An equilateral triangle is a triangle in which all three sides have the same length, and all three angles are equal. Because of these properties, the equilateral triangle is a regular polygon, occasionally known as the regular triangle. It is the special case of an isosceles triangle by modern definition, creating more special properties. The equilateral triangle can be found in various tilings, and in polyhedrons such as the deltahedron and antiprism. It appears in real life in popular culture, architecture, and the study of stereochemistry resembling the molecular known as the trigonal planar molecular geometry. Properties An equilateral triangle is a triangle that has three equal sides. It is a special case of an isosceles triangle in the modern definition, stating that an isosceles triangle is defined at least as having two equal sides. Based on the modern definition, this leads to an equilateral triangle in which one of the three sides may be considered its base. Th ...

Square Cupola
In geometry, the square cupola (sometimes called lesser dome) is a cupola with an octagonal In geometry, an octagon () is an eight-sided polygon or 8-gon. A '' regular octagon'' has Schläfli symbol and can also be constructed as a quasiregular truncated square, t, which alternates two types of edges. A truncated octagon, t is a hex ... base. In the case of all edges being equal in length, it is a Johnson solid, a Convex set, convex polyhedron with Regular polygon, regular faces. It can be used to construct many other polyhedrons, particularly other Johnson solids. Properties The square cupola has 4 triangles, 5 squares, and 1 octagon as their faces; the octagon is the base, and one of the squares is the top. If the edges are equal in length, the triangles and octagon become Regular polygon, regular, and the edge length of the octagon is equal to the edge length of both triangles and squares. The dihedral angle between both square and triangle is approximately 144.7^\cir ... [...More Info...]       [...Related Items...]     OR:     [Wikipedia]   [Google]   [Baidu]   |

Elongated Triangular Cupola
In geometry, the elongated triangular cupola is a polyhedron constructed from a hexagonal prism by attaching a triangular cupola. It is an example of a Johnson solid. Construction The elongated triangular cupola is constructed from a hexagonal prism by attaching a triangular cupola onto one of its bases, a process known as the Elongation (geometry), elongation. This cupola covers the hexagonal face so that the resulting polyhedron has four equilateral triangles, nine squares, and one regular hexagon. A convex set, convex polyhedron in which all of the faces are regular polygons is the Johnson solid. The elongated triangular cupola is one of them, enumerated as the eighteenth Johnson solid J_ . Properties The surface area of an elongated triangular cupola A is the sum of all polygonal face's area. The volume of an elongated triangular cupola can be ascertained by dissecting it into a cupola and a hexagonal prism, after which summing their volume. Given the edge length a , ...

Geometry
Geometry (; ) is a branch of mathematics concerned with properties of space such as the distance, shape, size, and relative position of figures. Geometry is, along with arithmetic, one of the oldest branches of mathematics. A mathematician who works in the field of geometry is called a ''List of geometers, geometer''. Until the 19th century, geometry was almost exclusively devoted to Euclidean geometry, which includes the notions of point (geometry), point, line (geometry), line, plane (geometry), plane, distance, angle, surface (mathematics), surface, and curve, as fundamental concepts. Originally developed to model the physical world, geometry has applications in almost all sciences, and also in art, architecture, and other activities that are related to graphics. Geometry also has applications in areas of mathematics that are apparently unrelated. For example, methods of algebraic geometry are fundamental in Wiles's proof of Fermat's Last Theorem, Wiles's proof of Fermat's ...
