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] |

Gyrate Rhombicosidodecahedron
In geometry, the gyrate rhombicosidodecahedron is one of the Johnson solids (). It is also a Midsphere#Canonical polyhedron, canonical polyhedron. Construction The gyrate rhombicosidodecahedron can be constructed similarly as rhombicosidodecahedron: it is constructed from parabidiminished rhombicosidodecahedron by attaching two regular pentagonal cupolas onto its Decagon, decagonal faces. As a result, these pentagonal cupolas cover its dodecagonal faces, so the resulting polyhedron has 20 equilateral triangles, 30 Square (geometry), squares, and 10 regular pentagons as its faces. The difference between those two polyhedrons is that one of two pentagonal cupolas from the gyrate rhombicosidodecahedron is rotated through 36°. A Convex set, convex polyhedron in which all faces are regular polygons is called the Johnson solid, and the gyrate rhombicosidodecahedron is among them, enumerated as the 72th Johnson solid J_ . Properties Because the two aforementioned polyhedrons ha ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Triangle
A triangle is a polygon with three corners and three sides, one of the basic shapes in geometry. The corners, also called ''vertices'', are zero-dimensional points while the sides connecting them, also called ''edges'', are one-dimensional line segments. A triangle has three internal angles, each one bounded by a pair of adjacent edges; the sum of angles of a triangle always equals a straight angle (180 degrees or π radians). The triangle is a plane figure and its interior is a planar region. Sometimes an arbitrary edge is chosen to be the ''base'', in which case the opposite vertex is called the ''apex''; the shortest segment between the base and apex is the ''height''. The area of a triangle equals one-half the product of height and base length. In Euclidean geometry, any two points determine a unique line segment situated within a unique straight line, and any three points that do not all lie on the same straight line determine a unique triangle situated w ...

Square (geometry)
In geometry, a square is a 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 degrees, or /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 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 squaring the circle by compass and straightedge ...

Pentagon
In geometry, a pentagon () is any five-sided polygon or 5-gon. The sum of the internal angles in a simple polygon, simple pentagon is 540°. A pentagon may be simple or list of self-intersecting polygons, self-intersecting. A self-intersecting ''regular pentagon'' (or ''star polygon, star pentagon'') is called a pentagram. Regular pentagons A ''regular polygon, regular pentagon'' has Schläfli symbol and interior angles of 108°. A ''regular polygon, regular pentagon'' has five lines of reflectional symmetry, and rotational symmetry of order 5 (through 72°, 144°, 216° and 288°). The diagonals of a convex polygon, convex regular pentagon are in the golden ratio to its sides. Given its side length t, its height H (distance from one side to the opposite vertex), width W (distance between two farthest separated points, which equals the diagonal length D) and circumradius R are given by: :\begin H &= \frac~t \approx 1.539~t, \\ W= D &= \frac~t\approx 1.618~t, ...

Decagon
In geometry, a decagon (from the Greek δέκα ''déka'' and γωνία ''gonía,'' "ten angles") is a ten-sided polygon or 10-gon.. The total sum of the interior angles of a simple decagon is 1440°. Regular decagon A '' regular decagon'' has all sides of equal length and each internal angle will always be equal to 144°. Its Schläfli symbol is and can also be constructed as a truncated pentagon, t, a quasiregular decagon alternating two types of edges. Side length The picture shows a regular decagon with side length a and radius R of the circumscribed circle. * The triangle E_E_1M has two equally long legs with length R and a base with length a * The circle around E_1 with radius a intersects ]M\,E_ in a point P (not designated in the picture). * Now the triangle \; is an isosceles triangle">/math> in a point P (not designated in the picture). * Now the triangle \; is an isosceles triangle with vertex E_1 and with base angles m\angle E_1 E_ P = m\angle E_ P E_1 = 72 ...

Convex Polytope
A convex polytope is a special case of a polytope, having the additional property that it is also a convex set contained in the n-dimensional Euclidean space \mathbb^n. Most texts. use the term "polytope" for a bounded convex polytope, and the word "polyhedron" for the more general, possibly unbounded object. Others''Mathematical Programming'', by Melvyn W. Jeter (1986) p. 68/ref> (including this article) allow polytopes to be unbounded. The terms "bounded/unbounded convex polytope" will be used below whenever the boundedness is critical to the discussed issue. Yet other texts identify a convex polytope with its boundary. Convex polytopes play an important role both in various branches of mathematics and in applied areas, most notably in linear programming. In the influential textbooks of Grünbaum and Ziegler on the subject, as well as in many other texts in discrete geometry, convex polytopes are often simply called "polytopes". Grünbaum points out that this is solely to avoid ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
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 ...

Pentagonal Cupola
Properties The pentagonal cupola (geometry), cupola's faces are five equilateral triangles, five squares, one regular pentagon, and one regular decagon. It has the property of Convex set, convexity and regular polygonal faces, from which it is classified as the fifth Johnson solid. This cupola produces two or more regular polyhedrons by slicing it with a plane, an elementary polyhedron's example. The following formulae for circumscribed sphere, circumradius R , and height h , surface area A , and volume V may be applied if all face (geometry), faces are regular polygon, regular with edge length a : \begin h &= \sqrta &\approx 0.526a, \\ R &= \fraca &\approx 2.233a, \\ A &= \fraca^2 &\approx 16.580a^2, \\ V &= \fraca^3 &\approx 2.324a^3. \end It has an axis of symmetry passing through the center of both top and base, which is symmetrical by rotating around it at one-, two-, three-, and four-fifth of a full-turn angle. It is also mirror-symmetric relative to any per ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Truncated Dodecahedron
In geometry, the truncated dodecahedron is an Archimedean solid. It has 12 regular decagonal faces, 20 regular triangular faces, 60 vertices and 90 edges. Construction The truncated dodecahedron is constructed from a regular dodecahedron by cutting all of its vertices off, a process known as truncation. Alternatively, the truncated dodecahedron can be constructed by expansion: pushing away the edges of a regular dodecahedron, forming the pentagonal faces into decagonal faces, as well as the vertices into triangles. Therefore, it has 32 faces, 90 edges, and 60 vertices. The truncated dodecahedron may also be constructed by using Cartesian coordinates. With an edge length 2\varphi - 2 centered at the origin, they are all even permutations of \left(0, \pm \frac, \pm (2 + \varphi) \right), \qquad \left(\pm \frac, \pm \varphi, \pm 2 \varphi \right), \qquad \left(\pm \varphi, \pm 2, \pm (\varphi + 1) \right), where \varphi = \frac is the golden ratio.
