Terminology Flashcards
PI
Symbol denotation ratio of a circle to diameter (3.1459265)
Circumference
Perimeter of a circle
Diameter
Length of a straight line through the center of an object
Radius
Half of a diameter
Breaching radius
Half the distance that the explosive force of an explosive breaches through (3 dimensional) (AFTER THE ROUNDING RULES)
One Dimensional
Lacking depth, a line example; the horizon
Two Dimensional
Area with no depth only surface. Example; the top of a table
Three Dimensional
Area plus depth. Example; a brick
Area
Surface set in 2 Dimensional. Length x Width
Volume
Amount of space occupied by 3 Dimensional objects.
Length x Width x Height
Square
Rectangle with equal four sides, no depth (2 Dimensional)
Cube
Object with 6 sides has depth (3 dimensional)
Cylinder
A circle with depth
Example; a role of quarters (3 dimensional)
Cone
A cylinder with a triangular top.
Example; ice cream cone
Square Root
A factor of a number that the root is itself times itself.
Example; square root of 9=3, 3x3=9
Cube Root
The factor of a number when the root is itself times itself times itself
Example; the cube root of 27=3, 3x3x3=27
Fraction
A numerical representation indication a quotient of two numbers.
Example; 1/2, 1/4, a portion, a fragment
Numerator
A part of a fraction above the line and signifies the number to be divided by the denominator
Example; 15/16, 15=Numerator, 16=Denominator
Denominator
Part of a fraction below the line and the fractions as divisor of the numerator
Example; 15/16, 15=Numerator, 16=Denominator
Decimal
Fragment or part of whole number expressed in numbers by percentage
Example; .12, .32
Whole Number
Entity not a fragment
Round up
Taking the first number passed the decimal point and rounding it up to the nearest whole number
Example; 3.12=4, 4.56=5
Round off
Taking the numbers two places passed the decimal and rounding up to the nearest whole number if it’s is .50 or above and rounding down to the nearest whole number if it is .49 or lower
Example; round up 4.56= 5, round down 4.49=4
Deflagrate
Change from a solid to a gaseous state relatively slow (burning)
