Geometry
Geometry (; ) is, with arithmetic, one of the oldest branches of mathematics. It is concerned with properties of space such as the distance, shape, size, and relative position of figures. A mathematician who works in the field of geometry is called a ''geometer''. Until the 19th century, geometry was almost exclusively devoted to Euclidean geometry, which includes the notions of point, line, plane, distance, angle, surface, and curve, as fundamental concepts. During the 19th century several discoveries enlarged dramatically the scope of geometry. One of the oldest such discoveries is Carl Friedrich Gauss' ("remarkable theorem") that asserts roughly that the Gaussian curvature of a surface is independent from any specific embedding in a Euclidean space. This implies that surfaces can be studied ''intrinsically'', that is, as stand-alone spaces, and has been expanded into the theory of manifolds and Riemannian geometry. Later in the 19th century, it appeared that geometries ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Nonconvex Uniform Polyhedron
In geometry, a uniform star polyhedron is a self-intersecting uniform polyhedron. They are also sometimes called nonconvex polyhedra to imply self-intersecting. Each polyhedron can contain either star polygon faces, star polygon vertex figures, or both. The complete set of 57 nonprismatic uniform star polyhedra includes the 4 regular ones, called the Kepler–Poinsot polyhedra, 5 quasiregular ones, and 48 semiregular ones. There are also two infinite sets of ''uniform star prisms'' and ''uniform star antiprisms''. Just as (nondegenerate) star polygons (which have polygon density greater than 1) correspond to circular polygons with overlapping tiles, star polyhedra that do not pass through the center have polytope density greater than 1, and correspond to spherical polyhedra with overlapping tiles; there are 47 nonprismatic such uniform star polyhedra. The remaining 10 nonprismatic uniform star polyhedra, those that pass through the center, are the hemipolyhedra as well as ...

Triangle
A triangle is a polygon with three Edge (geometry), edges and three Vertex (geometry), vertices. It is one of the basic shapes in geometry. A triangle with vertices ''A'', ''B'', and ''C'' is denoted \triangle ABC. In Euclidean geometry, any three points, when non-Collinearity, collinear, determine a unique triangle and simultaneously, a unique Plane (mathematics), plane (i.e. a two-dimensional Euclidean space). In other words, there is only one plane that contains that triangle, and every triangle is contained in some plane. If the entire geometry is only the Euclidean plane, there is only one plane and all triangles are contained in it; however, in higher-dimensional Euclidean spaces, this is no longer true. This article is about triangles in Euclidean geometry, and in particular, the Euclidean plane, except where otherwise noted. Types of triangle The terminology for categorizing triangles is more than two thousand years old, having been defined on the very first page of ...

Pentagon
In geometry, a pentagon (from the Greek πέντε ''pente'' meaning ''five'' and γωνία ''gonia'' meaning ''angle'') is any five-sided polygon or 5-gon. The sum of the internal angles in a simple pentagon is 540°. A pentagon may be simple or self-intersecting. A self-intersecting ''regular pentagon'' (or ''star pentagon'') is called a pentagram. Regular pentagons A '' regular pentagon'' has Schläfli symbol and interior angles of 108°. A '' 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 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, \\ W &= \sqr ...

Decagram (geometry)
In geometry, a decagram is a 10-point star polygon. There is one regular decagram, containing the vertices of a regular decagon, but connected by every third point. Its Schläfli symbol is . The name ''decagram'' combines a numeral prefix, ''deca-'', with the Greek suffix '' -gram''. The ''-gram'' suffix derives from ''γραμμῆς'' (''grammēs'') meaning a line. Regular decagram For a regular decagram with unit edge lengths, the proportions of the crossing points on each edge are as shown below. Applications Decagrams have been used as one of the decorative motifs in girih tiles. : Isotoxal variations An isotoxal polygon has two vertices and one edge. There are isotoxal decagram forms, which alternates vertices at two radii. Each form has a freedom of one angle. The first is a variation of a double-wound of a pentagon , and last is a variation of a double-wound of a pentagram . The middle is a variation of a regular decagram, .

Isosceles Trapezoid
In Euclidean geometry, an isosceles trapezoid (isosceles trapezium in British English) is a convex quadrilateral with a line of symmetry bisecting one pair of opposite sides. It is a special case of a trapezoid. Alternatively, it can be defined as a trapezoid in which both legs and both base angles are of equal measure. Note that a non-rectangular parallelogram is not an isosceles trapezoid because of the second condition, or because it has no line of symmetry. In any isosceles trapezoid, two opposite sides (the bases) are parallel, and the two other sides (the legs) are of equal length (properties shared with the parallelogram). The diagonals are also of equal length. The base angles of an isosceles trapezoid are equal in measure (there are in fact two pairs of equal base angles, where one base angle is the supplementary angle of a base angle at the other base). Special cases Rectangles and squares are usually considered to be special cases of isosceles trapezoids though s ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Vertex Arrangement
In geometry, a vertex arrangement is a set of points in space described by their relative positions. They can be described by their use in polytopes. For example, a ''square vertex arrangement'' is understood to mean four points in a plane, equal distance and angles from a center point. Two polytopes share the same ''vertex arrangement'' if they share the same 0-skeleton In mathematics, particularly in algebraic topology, the of a topological space presented as a simplicial complex (resp. CW complex) refers to the subspace that is the union of the simplices of (resp. cells of ) of dimensions In other wo .... A group of polytopes that shares a vertex arrangement is called an ''army''. Vertex arrangement The same set of vertices can be connected by edges in different ways. For example, the ''pentagon'' and ''pentagram'' have the same ''vertex arrangement'', while the second connects alternate vertices. A ''vertex arrangement'' is often described by the convex ...

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. Geometric relations This polyhedron can be formed from a regular dodecahedron by truncating (cutting off) the corners so the pentagon faces become decagons and the corners become triangles. It is used in the cell-transitive hyperbolic space-filling tessellation, the bitruncated icosahedral honeycomb. Area and volume The area ''A'' and the volume ''V'' of a truncated dodecahedron of edge length ''a'' are: :\begin A &= 5 \left(\sqrt+6\sqrt\right) a^2 &&\approx 100.990\,76a^2 \\ V &= \tfrac \left(99+47\sqrt\right) a^3 &&\approx 85.039\,6646a^3 \end Cartesian coordinates Cartesian coordinates for the vertices of a truncated dodecahedron with edge length 2''φ'' − 2, centered at the origin, are all even permutations of: :(0, ±, ±(2 + ''φ'')) :(±, ±''φ'', ±2''φ'') :(±''φ'', ±2, ±(''φ'' ...

In geometry, a vertex arrangement is a set of points in space described by their relative positions. They can be described by their use in polytopes. For example, a ''square vertex arrangement'' is understood to mean four points in a plane, equal distance and angles from a center point. Two polytopes share the same ''vertex arrangement'' if they share the same 0-skeleton. A group of polytopes that shares a vertex arrangement is called an ''army''. Vertex arrangement The same set of vertices can be connected by edges in different ways. For example, the ''pentagon'' and ''pentagram'' have the same ''vertex arrangement'', while the second connects alternate vertices. A ''vertex arrangement'' is often described by the convex hull polytope which contains it. For example, the regular ''pentagram'' can be said to have a (regular) ''pentagonal vertex arrangement''. Infinite tilings can also share common ''vertex arrangements''. For example, this triangular lattice of points ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
