Study Notes
Polyhedron Definition
- A polyhedron is a solid bounded by planes.
- The intersections of the planes are called edges.
- The intersection of the edges are called vertices.
- The portions of the planes included by the edges are called faces.
Lateral Faces and Edges
- The surfaces on the sides of a polyhedron are called lateral faces.
- The intersections of these faces are called lateral edges.
- A line joining two vertices that are not on the same face is called a diagonal.
Convex and Concave Polyhedrons
- If a plane cuts a polyhedron and the section is a convex polygon, the solid is called a convex polyhedron.
- If the section is a concave polygon, the solid is called a concave polyhedron.
Classification of Polyhedrons
- Polyhedrons are classified by the number of faces.
- Examples include tetrahedron (4 faces), hexahedron (6 faces), octahedron (8 faces), dodecahedron (12 faces), and icosahedron (20 faces).
Types of Polyhedrons
-
Prisms: A polyhedron with two parallel and congruent bases, and lateral faces that are parallelograms.
- Prisms are named based on the shape of their bases (e.g., triangular prism, rectangular prism, pentagonal prism, hexagonal prism, octagonal prism, trapezoidal prism).
- Pyramids: A polyhedron with one base (any polygon) and lateral faces that are triangles, meeting at a common vertex.
- Platonic Solids: A convex polyhedron with all faces being congruent regular polygons.
Prisms
- Triangular prism: 5 faces (2 triangles, 3 rectangles), 9 edges, 6 vertices.
- Rectangular prism: 6 rectangular faces, 12 edges, 8 vertices.
- Square prism: 6 faces (2 squares, 4 rectangles), 12 edges, 8 vertices.
- Pentagonal prism: 7 faces (2 pentagons, 5 rectangles), 15 edges, 10 vertices.
- Hexagonal prism: 8 faces (2 hexagons, 6 rectangles), 18 edges, 12 vertices.
- Octagonal prism: 10 faces (2 octagons, 8 rectangles), 24 edges, 16 vertices.
- Trapezoidal prism: 6 faces (2 trapezoids, 4 rectangles), 12 edges, 8 vertices.
Right and Oblique Prisms
- Right prism: Lateral edges perpendicular to the bases.
- Oblique prism: Lateral edges are not perpendicular to the bases.
Regular Prisms
- A right prism whose bases are regular polygons.
Right Sections
- A section of a prism made by a plane perpendicular to its lateral edges.
Truncated Prisms
- The part of a prism between one base and a section made by a plane oblique to the base, cutting all the lateral edges.
Parallelepiped
- A prism whose bases are parallelograms.
- Right Parallelepiped: A parallelepiped with lateral edges perpendicular to its bases.
- Rectangular Parallelepiped: A right parallelepiped with rectangular faces.
- Cube: A rectangular parallelepiped with six square faces.
Cube Properties
- All faces are congruent squares.
- All three dimensions (edges) are equal.
Cube Formulas
- Area of a face (A) = e2
- Lateral area (S) = 4e2
- Total surface area (T) = 6e2
- Volume (V) = e3
Exercises
- Exercises for practice problems on the cube are given.
