Chapter 12 - Geo.
Chapter 12 Vocabulary - Surface area and Volume of Solids
| Word | Definition |
|---|---|
| center of a sphere | see sphere |
| chord of a sphere | a segment whose endpoint are on a sphere |
| cone | a solid has one circular base and a vertex that is not on the same plane as the base |
| convex polyhedron | a polyhedron is convex if any two points on its surface can be connected by a segment that lies entirely inside or on the polyhedron; if this segment goes outside the polyhedron, then the polyhedron is nonconvex or concave |
| cross section | the intersection of a plane and a solid |
| cube | a polyhedron with six congruent square faces |
| cylinder | a solid with two congruent bases that lie in parallel planes |
| dodecahedron | a polygon with twelve faces |
| diameter of a sphere | a chord that contains the center of a sphere; the distance across a sphere through its center |
| edge of a polyhedron | a line segment formed by the intersection of two faces of a polyhedron |
| face of a polyhedron | see polyhedron |
| great circle | the intersection of a sphere and a plane that contains the center of the sphere |
| hemisphere | half a sphere, formed when a great circle separates a sphere into congruent halves |
| icosahedron | a polyhedron with twenty faces |
| lateral area | the of the areas of the lateral faces of a polyhedron or other solid with one or two bases |
| lateral edges of a prism | the segments connecting the corresponding vertices of the bases of a prism |
| lateral faces of a prism | the faces of a prism that are parallelograms formed by connecting the corresponding vertices of the bases of the prism |
| oblique prism | a prism with lateral edges that are not perpendicular to the bases |
| net | the two-dimensional representation of the faces of a polyhedron |
| platonic solids | five regular polyhedra, named after the Greek mathematician and philosopher Plato |
| polyhedron | a solid that is bounded by polygons, called faces, that enclose a single region of space |
| prism | a polyhedron with two congruent faces, called bases, that lie in parallel planes |
| pyramid | a polyhedron in which the base is a polygon and the lateral faces are triangles with ac common vertex, called the vertex of the pyramid |
| octahedron | a polyhedron with eight faces |
| regular polyhedron | a convex polyhedron in which all of the faces are congruent regular polygons |
| regular pyramid | a pyramid that has a regular polygon for a base and in which the segment joining the vertex and center of the base is perpendicular to the base |
| right cone | a cone in which the segment joining the vertex and the center of the base is perpendicular to the base; the slant height is the distance between the vertex and a point on the base edge |
| right cylinder | a cylinder in which the segment joining the centers of the bases is perpendicular to the bases |
| right prism | a prism in which each lateral edge is perpendicular to both bases |
| radius of a sphere | a segment from the center of a sphere to a point on the sphere; the distance from the center of the sphere to any point on the sphere |
| slant height of a regular pyramid | the height of a lateral face of the regular pyramid |
| sphere | the set of all points equidistant from a given point called the center of the sphere |
| similar solids | two solids with the same type with equal ratios of corresponding linear measure, such as heights or radii |
| surface area | the sum of the areas of the faces of a polyhedron or other solid |
| tetrahedron | a polyhedron with four faces |
| vertex of a polyhedron | a point where three or more edges of a polygon meet |
| vertex of a cone | see cone |
| vertex of a pyramid | see pyramid |
| volume of a solid | the number of cubic units contained int he interior of a solid |
| lateral surface of a cone | consists of all segments that connect the vertex with points on the edge of the base |
