Polyhedron

A polyhedron is a solid made of polygons. Remember, polygons are 2-D shapes with line segments for

sides. The polygons form faces, or sides of the solid. An edge of a polyhedron is the line segment that is

formed by the intersection of 2 faces. Typically the sides of the polygon faces.

A vertex of a polyhedron is a point in which 3 or more edges meet Typically the corners of the polygon’s faces.

Convex v Concave Polyhedra

A polyhedron will be convex when any two points on its surface can be connected by a segment that lies completely in its interior.

Said another way, pick any two points on different edges and make sure that the segment connecting them stays inside the polyhedron.

All faces should be convex polygons.

A polyhedron will be concave when any two points on its surface can be connected by a segment that leaves the interior and returns.

Said another way, pick any two points on different edges and see that the segment goes outside the polyhedron and then back in.

If one face of the polyhedron is concave, the entire polyhedron is said to be concave.

Page 7: Unit 9 Solids. Lesson 9.1 Day 1: Identifying Solids

Cross Sections

When you take a plane and cut through a solid, the resulting shape of the surface is called the cross section. When asked to identify a cross section,

you need to identify the polygon formed. The plane acts like a knife blade and cuts

through the solid.

Theorem 12.1: Euler’s Theorem

The number of faces (F), the number of vertices (V), and the number of edges (E) in a polyhedron are related by

2F V E This formula can be used to solve for a missing

quantity For instance, it is sometimes hard to count the

edges in the picture because some are hidden in the back.

The BEST use of this formula is to check your work that you have counted correctly.

Regular Polyhedra

A regular polyhedron is a solid that uses a ALL regular polygons for faces. And that the same number of faces meet

at each vertex. There are only five regular polyhedra,

called Platonic solids. Named after Greek mathematician and

philosopher Plato

The only shapes used as faces are: Equilateral Triangles Squares Regular Pentagons

Prisms

A prism is a polyhedron with two congruent faces that are parallel to each other.

The congruent faces are called bases. The bases must be parallel to each other.

The other faces are called lateral faces. These are always rectangles or parallelograms or

squares. When naming a prism, they are always named

by the shape of their bases. Hexagonal Prism

Page 14: Unit 9 Solids. Lesson 9.1 Day 1: Identifying Solids

Right v Oblique

In a right prism, the length of the lateral edge is the height. A right prism is one

that stands up straight with the lateral edges perpendicular to the bases.

The height of a prism is the perpendicular distance between the bases.

An oblique prism is one that is slanted to one side or the other. The length of the

slanted lateral edge is called the slant height.

In an oblique prism, the height must be drawn in so that it is perpendicular to both bases.

Pyramid

A pyramid is a polyhedron with one base and lateral faces that meet at one common vertex. The base must be a polygon.

Not necessarily a square! The lateral faces will always be triangles.

Name the pyramid by its base shape.

Sphere

A sphere is a set of points in space that are equidistant from one given point.A sphere is a shell of points that are

the same distance from the center.A sphere is a 3-dimensional circle.

Page 21: Unit 9 Solids. Lesson 9.1 Day 1: Identifying Solids

Parts of a Sphere

The point inside the sphere where all points are equidistant to is called the center of the sphere.

A radius of the sphere is a segment drawn from the center to a point on the sphere.

A chord of a sphere is a segment that joins any two points on the sphere.

The diameter is also a chord. Any 2-dimensional circle that contains the

center of the sphere is called a great circle. The equator would be a great circle.

Every great circle of a sphere splits a sphere into two congruent halves called hemispheres.

Page 22: Unit 9 Solids. Lesson 9.1 Day 1: Identifying Solids

Nets

A net is a two-dimensional drawing of a three-dimensional solid. If you were to unfold a solid, the net

would show what it looks like. Every solid has a net.

However, there are only certain ways to draw a net for each solid.

Regular Pyramids

A regular pyramid has a regular polygon for a base, and the common vertex is directly above the center of the base.

The height of a pyramid is the perpendicular distance from the base to the common vertex. The height of a regular pyramid is the length of the

line drawn from the center of the base straight up to the common vertex.

The slant height only exists in regular pyramids and cones and it is the length of a line drawn from the base up the lateral face to the common vertex.

Page 37: Unit 9 Solids. Lesson 9.1 Day 1: Identifying Solids

Finding Slant Height

To find the slant height, you must know or be able to calculate height of the pyramid apothem of the base of the pyramid

can be found knowing one side of the base.

The reason you need those quantities is because they form a hidden right triangle. Then Pythagorean Theorem can be used to find the

missing slant height.

Page 38: Unit 9 Solids. Lesson 9.1 Day 1: Identifying Solids

Example 9.10

Find the slant height for the following pyramid.Remember, you must make a right triangle using height, slant height, and apothem.

Volume Postulates

Postulate 28:Volume Congruence

If two polyhedra are congruent, then they have the same volume.

Postulate 29:Volume Addition

The volume of a solid is the sum of the volume of all its nonoverlapping parts.

Page 55: Unit 9 Solids. Lesson 9.1 Day 1: Identifying Solids

Theorem 12.6: Cavalieri’s Principle

If two solids have the same height and the same cross-sectional area at every level, then they have the same volume. So whether the solid is tilted or straight up, the

volume is the same as long as the base area is the same size all the way up the solid.

Cavalieri’s Principle holds true for pyramids and cones as well.

Dimensional Changes AffectingVolume and Surface Area

What happens to a sphere when the radius changes?

What happens to the surface area when the radius doubles?

The surface area is 4 times larger. What happens to the volume when the

radius doubled? The volume got 8 times larger.

Why? When a measurement changes, you

must make that change in the formula as well.

Since the radius is squared in the formula for surface area, then any change to the radius will have a squared effect on the surface area.

Doubled2 = Quadrupled And since the radius is cubed in the

formula for volume, then any change to the radius will have a cubed effect on the volume.

Doubled3 = 8 times the effect

This applies toall formulas for

all solids!

Unit Conversions

Does the actual width of the front desk change just because we use a different side of the measuring stick?

No But the numerical value changes, how does that make sense?

Because the scales marked differently. So, how do we mathematically change a number but keep the overall

value the same? What happens when you multiply any number by 1?

The number stays the same, does it not?

When converting units, we use our conversion factors to make a fraction that is equivalent to 1.

Remember, the numbers are different but the value they are measuring is the same. And when you divide a value by the same value, the fraction is equal to 1.

That way when we multiply during the conversion, we multiply by 1.

Dimensional (Unit) Analysis

Here are the steps to dimensional analysis.1. Write down the measurement given.2. Find a conversion factor with the same units as your given value.

2. Hopefully that conversion factor will also contain the units that you want to change into.

3. Write that conversion factor as a fraction with the denominator of the fraction containing the units you are attempting to change.

3. The fraction should contain the numerical values and their assigned units as well.

4. To verify the setup is correct, now is the time to analyze the units so that all units make their own fractions equivalent to 1.

4. We will cancel out all units that make fractions of 1, since multiplying by 1 does not change the value of the overall problem.

5. Now multiply (or divide) the numbers as you see them in the problem.

6. Finally, the units on your final answer are the only units that have not been cancelled out during step 4.

Multi-Dimensional Unit Conversions

What are the factors of 7? 1 and 7

How about x2? xx

Using that logic, what are the factors of x3? xxx

Continuing with that logic, what are the factors of in3? ininin

So when we convert units that involve exponents, the exponent tells us how many times we have to convert from one unit of measurement to the other.
