vocab geometry Flashcards
face
flat part of a solid (
vertex
a corner where three faces meet, plural- vertices (vrchol)
edges
place where two faces of a solid meet in a line (hrany)
polyhedron
3-dimensional solid figure in which each face is a flat surface (mnohosten)
platonic solids
solids with identical regular polygons, 4 vertices- fire,6 vertices- air,8 v.- earth,12 v- water, 20 v- universe (platónske objekty)
prisms
polyhedra that have 2 parallel faces called bases- congruent polygons , the lateral faces are rectangles in a right prism or parallelograms in an oblique prism (hranoly)
pyramid
polyhedron, its bases can be any polygon, lateral faces- in the shape of triangle, common vertex- apex (ihlan)
apothem
lateral height (
polyhedral angle
angle which three faces hold (plyedrický uhol)
dihedral angle
angle which 2 faces hold (dihedrálny uhol)
convex polyhedron
straight line penetrates the object in 2 points (konvexný mnohosten)
concave polyhedron
straight line penetrate the object in 3 or more points (konkávny mnohosten)
types of polyhedron
tetrahedron, pentahedron, hexahedron, heptahedron, octahedron, nonahedron, decahedron, undecahedron, dodecahedron, icosahedron
regular polyhedron
its faces are congruent (pravidelný mnohosten)
non-polyhedra
solid which has curved surfaces or it is a mix of a curved and flat surfaces : sphere, torus, cylinder, cone
cube
regular hexahedron composed of 6 congruent squares (kocka)
cuboid
parallelepiped that has all rectangular faces joined at right angles (kváder)
truncate pyramid
result of cutting a pyramid by a plane, lateral faces are trapezoids (zrezaná pyramída)
cylinder
solid generated by a rectangle that rotates around one of its sides, bases are two circles, circular cylinder, elliptical cylinder
cone
solid of revolution generated by a right triangle that rotates around one of its legs, base is a circle that forms the other leg, slant height distance from any point on the circumference to the apex (kužeľ)
axis
fixed leg around which the triangle rotates, fixed side around which the rectangle turns (cylinder) (os)
