Cone (EntityTopic, 11)
From Hi.gher. Space
A cone is a special case of a pyramid where the base is a circle. It is bounded by its circular base and a curved surface
The cone is one of the few curved polyhedra that satisfy Euler's F + V = E + 2.
Equations
- Variables:
r ⇒ radius of base of cone
h ⇒ perpendicular height of cone
- All points (x, y, z) that lie on the surface of a cone will satisfy the following equations:
Unknown
- All points (x, y, z) that lie on the edges of a cone will satisfy the following equations:
x2 + y2 = r2
z = 0
- The hypervolumes of a cone are given by:
total edge length = 2πr
surface area = πr(r + √(r2 + h2))
volume = π∕3 · r2h
- The planar cross-sections (n) of a cone are:
[!x,!y] ⇒ isosceles triangle of base length 2r and perpendicular height h
[!z] ⇒ circle of radius (r − nr∕h)
Arrinder
An arrinder is the surface of revolution of an arrow, just as a cone is the surface of revolution of a triangle. It can also be thought of as a cone with a smaller cone removed from the base. As such, this shape's volume is the difference between the volume of the two aforementioned cones.
