Base (geometry)
In geometry, a base is a side of a polygon or a face of a polyhedron, particularly one oriented perpendicular to the direction in which height is measured, or on what is considered to be the "bottom" of the figure.
See True length and Base (geometry)
Descriptive geometry
Descriptive geometry is the branch of geometry which allows the representation of three-dimensional objects in two dimensions by using a specific set of procedures.
See True length and Descriptive geometry
Edge (geometry)
In geometry, an edge is a particular type of line segment joining two vertices in a polygon, polyhedron, or higher-dimensional polytope.
See True length and Edge (geometry)
Euclidean space
Euclidean space is the fundamental space of geometry, intended to represent physical space.
See True length and Euclidean space
Net (polyhedron)
In geometry, a net of a polyhedron is an arrangement of non-overlapping edge-joined polygons in the plane which can be folded (along edges) to become the faces of the polyhedron.
See True length and Net (polyhedron)
Orthographic projection
Orthographic projection (also orthogonal projection and analemma) is a means of representing three-dimensional objects in two dimensions.
See True length and Orthographic projection
Parallel (geometry)
In geometry, parallel lines are coplanar infinite straight lines that do not intersect at any point.
See True length and Parallel (geometry)
Projection plane
A projection plane, or plane of projection, is a type of view in which graphical projections from an object intersect.
See True length and Projection plane
Pyramid (geometry)
In geometry, a pyramid is a polyhedron formed by connecting a polygonal base and a point, called the apex.
