什么是 Pyramid, cone?

又称: pyramid · cone

Definition 62.1 Primary & Middle School Mathematics · 第 62 章 — Pyramids and Cones
  • A pyramid has a polygon as its base and a point, the apex, joined to every vertex of the base by triangular faces. Its height is the distance from the apex to the plane of the base.
  • A cone is the same construction over a disk: a base disk, an apex, and a curved lateral surface.

A pyramid is regular when its base is a regular polygon (square, equilateral triangle, …) and its apex sits vertically above the center of the base.

A square-based pyramid and a cone: one polygonal or circular base, one apex, and the height measured perpendicular to the base.

示例

Example 62.2 (Counting faces, edges, vertices)

A pyramid with a square base has 55 faces (11 square +4+ 4 triangles), 88 edges and 55 vertices. With an nn-sided base: n+1n + 1 faces, 2n2n edges, n+1n + 1 vertices. Check Euler’s little pattern: faces ++ vertices == edges +2+ 2.

Example 62.5

A pyramid has a square base of side 55 cm and height 99 cm:

  1. base area: B=52=25B = 5^2 = 25 cm2^2;
  2. volume: V=13×25×9=25×3=75V = \frac13 \times 25 \times 9 = 25 \times 3 = 75 cm3^3.

An ice-cream cone of radius 33 cm and height 1010 cm:

V=13×π×32×10=30π≈94 cm3.V = \frac13 \times \pi \times 3^2 \times 10 = 30\pi \approx 94 \text{ cm}^3 .

Example 62.6 (Careful with the height)

For a cone, do not confuse the height hh (apex to center of the base, perpendicular) with the slant height ss (apex to the rim). They are related by Pythagoras (Theorem 58.1) in the right triangle apex–center–rim:

s2=h2+r2.s^2 = h^2 + r^2 .

A cone with r=3r = 3 and s=5s = 5 therefore has height h=25−9=4h = \sqrt{25 - 9} = 4, and volume 13π×9×4=12π\frac13 \pi \times 9 \times 4 = 12\pi.
