Pyramid with a Trapezoid Base

A pyramid is a building where the outer surfaces are triangular and converge at a point. The base of a pyramid can be trilateral, quadrilateral, or any polygon shape, meaning that a pyramid has at least three outer surfaces (at least four faces including the base). The square pyramid, with square base and four triangular outer surfaces, is a common version. (Source: Wikipedia)

I like to share this Trapezoid Shape with you all through my article.

Pyramid with trapezoid base:
      A pyramid with a trapezoid base is called as trapezoidal pyramid.
     Volume of trapezoidal pyramid = (1 / 3) * ((1 / 2) * (base₁ + base₂) * height

Prism Solve for h

Prism is one of the three dimensional shape. Normally the prisms faces are flat surface. Here we have two bases, one is at the top and another is at the bottom. In prisms we have two kinds of prisms; they are rectangular prism and triangular prism. When a prism bottom is rectangular shape then it’s denoted as rectangular prism. Cube and cuboids are some examples are rectangular prism. When a prism bottom is triangular shape then its said to be triangular prism. 

The diagram given below the structure of prism:

Description to prism solve for h:

The following types are used in the prism shape they are

Volume of the regular prism is = BH cubic units,

Where B represents the base area of shape, and H represents height.

The Lateral surface area of the regular prism is given by,

              L.S.A = PH square units.

Where P represents the perimeter of shape and H represents the height of prism

Prism based on rectangular:

The area of the base is calculated by l*w

The perimeter of the base can be calculated by 2(l+w)

Therefore the total surface area is calculated by 2lw+2(l+w)H

Volume of the rectangular prism is V= L * W * H

Triangular based prism:

The area is measured as 1/2 bh

The perimeter of the base is measured by a+b+c.

So the surface are is measured by  bh+ (a+b+c) H

Circular based prism:

The area of the base is calculated as `pi` r²

The perimeter of the base is calculated by 2`pi` r

Therefore the surface area of the prism is 2`pi` r²+2`pi` rH

Let we see some basic problems regarding prisms.

Example 1:

 The dimensions of the rectangular prism is given below ,they are length is 10cm, height is 4 cm, and width is 14 cm.

Solution:

Given dimensions length = 10 cm, height = 4 cm, width = 14 cm.

Formula:

  Surface area = 2lw+2(l+w)H

apply  the values in the above formula, we get

                       = 2 *10*14+2(10+14)4

                       = 240 + 2(24)4

                      = 240 + 48*4

                     = 240 +192

                     = 432 cm²

      Volume = l * w * h  

                      = 10 * 4 * 14 cm³

                      = 560 cm³

Answer:

Surface area = 432 cm²

Volume = 560 cm³

Examples problems to solve h in prism

Example 1:

solve the h value whose prism volume is 1210 cubic units and base is 21 cm.

Solution:

The volume of the prism is V = 1210cubic units.

Base of the prism is = 21cm

                                   V= BH

apply the values in the formula we get

                              1210 = 121*H

                                     h = 1210 /121

                                     h = 10cm.

Example2:

The volume of the  rectangular prism is 360 cm³ and its length and widths are 10 ,4 cm , solve the h value

Solution:

The volume of the rectangular prism is V = 360cm³

Length of the rectangular prism is l = 10cm

Width of the rectangular prism is W = 4 cm

Apply these values in formula we get

                                     360 = 10*4*h

                                      360 = 40 *h

                                     h = 360 / 40

                                    h = 9 cm

Sample problems:

1) The volume of a regular prism is  120cm³.The base of the regular prism is 10 cm , solve its height h?

solution : height h = 12 cm.

2) The volume of the rectangular prism is 420cm3 and its length = 7 cm and width =6 cm and solve its height h?

solution: height h = 10 cm.

Conic Tutorial

The sections of a cone are  ellipses, Circles, parabolas and hyperbolas. Because these diagrams can be obtained by passing a plain through vertex of the double-napped cone. In this conic tutorial we are going to see the sections of the cone.

Circle - conic tutorial:
The circle in the section of a cone is like ellipse. When two foci are coincided to each other the circle is formed. This conic section can be formed when a circular cone is intersected with a perpendicular plane.

Sections of a cone - Parabolas - conic tutorial:

One of the section of the cone is the parabola. The points will not be on the same line but in the plain are equal from a fixed line and in a fixed point.

Solve Maxima and Minima:
The local minimum and the local maximum value must be known for finding the maxima and minima values.

Ellipse - conic tutorial:
The section of a cone is an ellipse. It is from a constant two fixed point with the sum of its focus of all the points. The concept of an ellipse makes different terminologies like focus of ellipse, loci of ellipse, etc.

Equation of ellipse:
Equation of ellipse is `(x - h)^2 / a^2 ` + `(y - k)^2 / b^2` = 1 . here real numbers are h, k, a and b.

Sections of a cone-General Equation of an Ellipse

The points of locus will be F ( p, q ) and the equation of directrix ax + by + c = 0. This is the general equation of ellipse

Theorem on Line contact with an Ellipse:
The condition for the line y = m x + c to touch the ellipse `(x^2/a^2)+(y^2/b^2) ` = 1 is that c = ±  `sqrt(a^2 . m^2 + b^2)` .

Finding the point of contact for Ellipse: 
The tangent y = m x + `sqrt(a^2 . m^2 + h^2)`  touches the ellipse `(x^2/a^2)+(y^2/b^2) `= 1, at the point `[(-a^2m/sqrt(a^2m^2+b^2) , b^2/sqrt(a^2m^2+b^2)]`

Hyperbola - conic tutorial:

A hyperbola is the section of a cone. A conic which an eccentricity greater than 1. It has two branches extending up to infinity, two foci, two directions, two vertices and two axes. ( i . e . )  transverse and conjugate and has a center which is the midpoint of the line of two foci and perpendicular conjugate axis is the line through the center and to the transverse axis.

Two Non Intersecting Lines

The two lines are concurrent means then the pencil is formed by the set of lines passing in their common point: if they are parallel, by the set of parallels to both, in the same direction means, they are non-intersecting lines. In fact, if the lines meet in the ordinary sense of the term or are parallel, the point can be at once obtained. These are called non-intersecting lines.

Acute Angles Pictures

Here we are going to see about the introduction to angles. The angle is referred as a figure which is formed by distribution of  two rays with a common point. This common point is referred as end point. The word angle is from the Latin word angulus which defines the point in corner. There are many types of angles in this we are going to see about the acute angles.

The acute angle is the type of angle which measures the angle between 0 to 90 degree and less than the 90 degree. The normal picture of the acute angle is given as,

Pictures of acute angle:
            The acute angles are referred by using the pictures which measures the angle less then 90 degree. The pictures of the acute angles are given below as examples.
Picture 1:

This is the picture of acute angle which defines that the angle measured in this picture is 48⁰ which is less than 90 degree.

Picture 2:

This is other picture of acute angle which defines that the angle measured in this picture is 28⁰ which is less than 90 degree.

Picture 3:

This is the picture of acute angle which defines that the angle measured in this picture is 37⁰ which is less than 90 degree.

Picture 4:

This is also a picture of acute angle which defines that the angle measured in this picture is 63⁰ which is less than 90 degree.

Picture 5:

This is also a picture of acute angle which defines that the angle measured in this picture is 49⁰ which is less than 90 degree.

Picture 6:

This is also a picture of acute angle which defines that the angle measured in this picture is 72⁰ which is less than 90 degree.

Example problems

Problem 1:
When the angle a-180⁰ is an acute angle. what is the value of a?
Options:
a) 240⁰
b) 300⁰
c) 290⁰
d) 320⁰

Solution:
Acute angle is the angle which measures less than 90 degree or 90 degree.
When 240⁰-180⁰ = 60⁰.
Hence the value of a is 60⁰.

Problem 2:
When the angle y - 90⁰ is an acute angle. what is the maximum value of y?
Options:
a) 170⁰
b) 200⁰
c) 100⁰
d) 540⁰

Solution:
Since the acute angle measures less than 90 degree. The maximum value of y is 170⁰.
Where 200⁰- 90⁰ = 110⁰, since it is greater than 90 degree this is not an acute angle.  
100⁰- 90⁰ = 10⁰, since it is less than 90 degree this is an acute angle but it is the minimum value.

540⁰- 90⁰ = 450⁰, since it is greater than 90 degree this is not an acute angle.  
170⁰- 90⁰ = 80⁰, since it is less than 90 degree this is an acute angle.
