Wouldn’t that make the face on the right non-planar?
scratchee@feddit.uk 2 weeks ago
If you’re free to put the center vertex anywhere, then I’d think you could position it to avoid that…
Tlaloc_Temporal@lemmy.ca 2 weeks ago
That scutoid (possibly all of them, I don’t know) is just a pentagonal prism with a corner cut off.
betanumerus@lemmy.ca 2 weeks ago
Cylinder side also non-planar, yet not a problem.

STOP MAKING NEW SHAPES.
WE HAVE ENOUGH SHAPES.
SkaveRat@discuss.tchncs.de 2 weeks ago
I’m not sure.
My doctor always says that I’m out of shape, so I’m sure I should get a new one
krooklochurm@lemmy.ca 2 weeks ago
We already have all the shapes we need. Square. Circle. Octagon. Tetrahedron. Tesseract. Penis.
That’s enough shapes.

Zerush@lemmy.ml 2 weeks ago
The area is very easy to calc, its only adding clear poligons, basic geometry. Somewhat harder to calculate the volumen of this thing.

Your spanish is leaking, mate.
DonPiano@feddit.org 2 weeks ago
Fun: The leak looks the same as if it had sprung from german!
betanumerus@lemmy.ca 2 weeks ago
Volume is also nothing but polygons, where you get more accurate results the more slices you cut it into.
Zerush@lemmy.ml 2 weeks ago
Yeah, the easy way, but not so easy with pen and paper (also only basic math, but a lot)

Any teachers here wanna weigh in on the ability of current kids’ ability to form complete sentences, let alone calculate the area of this shape?

Droggelbecher@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Given enough time and known lengths, most of my students should be able to calculate the surface area of this by the time they graduate. They’d just split everything into triangles and quadrangles, use the formula for each, then add everything together. It’s not that useful of an exercise though, didactically speaking, because once you grasp that process, it’s just repetitive and lengthy. There’d have to be a LOT of given values to make this solvable, too.
On a more subjective note, they can also form sentences. They just don’t want to when colloquial speech brings the point across just as well and it’s an informal setting. The same is true for most people of all ages in my experience.

honestly not even sure how i remember doing complex math in hs
slaneesh_is_right@lemmy.org 2 weeks ago
I used to be pretty good at math, especially when it comes to shapes. The other day i had to calculate a triangle to order bricks, i almost lost my damn mind.

Wake up everyone, a new shape just dropped!

Stamets@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 weeks ago
They’re commenting on the text that I made to two rounds of post trying to help a friend escape an abusive relationship. They’re quite angry about it and, in yelling at me for spamming it, has resorted to spamming the same comment over and over again on every post I’ve made.

Better than rheumatoid stuff.

I thought area was for 2D things, and volume is for 3D things? Or does he mean surface area?
FridaySteve@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Surface area. It’s Twitter, give people a break.
Treczoks@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
It’s Twitter, give people a break.
No. People who still use Twitter/X are already broken…
sbeak@sopuli.xyz 2 weeks ago
Fair enough
buddascrayon@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Well there’s also the fact that this has more to do with biology than geometry. So this guy’s a moron on multiple levels.
betanumerus@lemmy.ca 2 weeks ago
3D things have both a volume and an area. Like, how much wrapping paper you need to wrap a gift box.
sbeak@sopuli.xyz 2 weeks ago
Yeah, surface area!
Juice@midwest.social 2 weeks ago
So how would you calculate this?
betanumerus@lemmy.ca 2 weeks ago
You need the length for each side. Make triangles. Double each one into a parallelogram. bh/2 for each one.
IzzyScissor@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
It’s only 3 pentagons, 1 hexagon, 1 triangle and 3 rectangles for a total of 20 component triangles. Easy!
Fedizen@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Looks like a pentagon on one side and hexagon on the other, aka soccerball pattern. I would be very surprised if the volumes don’t work out close enough just approximating them with [average area of ends] x [length]
