final unit. i need to do well. Flashcards
3D spatial figure
solid
geometric solid with polygon as faces
polyhedron
one of the polygons that form the polyhedron
face of a polyhedron
intersection of two faces of a polyhedron
edge
intersection of two or more edges
vertex
the face that is formed when you make a slice through an object
cross sections
not all cross sections need to be parallel to a face & **the number of faces dictates the maximum number of sides a cross section can have**
rules of a cross section
cross sections can’t be circles because you can’t slice a curve, and the maximum number of sides is a 6 so you can’t have cross sections for octagons or decagons
what is the max number of sides of a polygon cross section for a triangular prism
5 (5 faces)
you can create a rectangle as a cross section for a cylinder because if you slice a cylinder perpendicular it should create a rectangle
what are the possible cross sections for a sphere
circles.
stacking principle of the volume of a prism
there’s literally 2 congruent translated bases already in a prism so the cross sections are identical to those bases
all of the cross sections are identical to the bases in a prism because we have 2 translated congruent bases in parallel planes, so to calculate the volume of a prism, calculate the area of the base and then multiply it by the height of the prism
Vprism= Bh
*B is the area of the base
Volume of a prism
If the AREA OF THE CROSS SECTIONS ON BOTH SOLIDS by any plane II to a given plane are invariably equal, the solids have the same volume
If a right prism and oblique prism have the same height and the same base, they have the same volume
Cavalieri Principle
revolving 2-d shapes creating a cylindrical shape- figures are rotated about an axis to fill space and create volume
