Prisms and Pyramids
This page focuses on the formulas for prisms and pyramids, providing a comprehensive formulario geometria solida pdf. It covers various aspects of these 3D shapes, including surface area, volume, and other key measurements.
The page begins with the same important note as before, emphasizing that all lengths must be in the same unit of measurement for accurate calculations.
The shapes covered include:
- Prism (general)
- Rectangular Parallelepiped
- Cube
- Pyramid (general)
- Right Pyramid
- Arbitrary Pyramid
- Truncated Pyramid
For each shape, the page provides formulas for lateral surface area (S₁), total surface area (St), volume (V), and in some cases, diagonal length (d).
Definition: A prism is a 3D shape with two identical ends (bases) and flat sides.
Example: For a cube, all formulas are expressed in terms of the side length s. The volume is simply V = s³.
Highlight: The page includes formulas for both regular pyramids and truncated pyramids, which are less commonly found in basic geometry resources.
The bottom of the page includes a legend explaining the symbols used in the formulas, such as h for height, s for edge length, and 2p for perimeter.
This page serves as an excellent reference for students studying solid geometry or professionals working with 3D shapes in fields like engineering or architecture.
