I found this to help me imagine the shape:
I'm fine with being stupid

Wouldn’t that make the face on the right non-planar?
scratchee@feddit.uk 1 year ago
If you’re free to put the center vertex anywhere, then I’d think you could position it to avoid that…
Tlaloc_Temporal@lemmy.ca 1 year ago
That scutoid (possibly all of them, I don’t know) is just a pentagonal prism with a corner cut off.

STOP MAKING NEW SHAPES.
WE HAVE ENOUGH SHAPES.
SkaveRat@discuss.tchncs.de 1 year ago
I’m not sure.
My doctor always says that I’m out of shape, so I’m sure I should get a new one
krooklochurm@lemmy.ca 1 year ago
We already have all the shapes we need. Square. Circle. Octagon. Tetrahedron. Tesseract. Penis.
That’s enough shapes.

Finally, they made Polygon 2

When will we get Polygon Z?

Ah just make it a 3d rectangle and slap a +/-10% on it

Zerush@lemmy.ml 1 year ago
The area is very easy to calc, its only adding clear poligons, basic geometry. Somewhat harder to calculate the volumen of this thing.
Paula_Tejando@lemmy.eco.br 1 year ago
Your spanish is leaking, mate.
DonPiano@feddit.org 1 year ago
Fun: The leak looks the same as if it had sprung from german!
betanumerus@lemmy.ca 1 year ago
Volume is also nothing but polygons, where you get more accurate results the more slices you cut it into.
Zerush@lemmy.ml 1 year ago
Yeah, the easy way, but not so easy with pen and paper (also only basic math, but a lot)
kameecoding@lemmy.world 1 year ago

There’s a project for this!

Oh wow somebody did that

Any teachers here wanna weigh in on the ability of current kids’ ability to form complete sentences, let alone calculate the area of this shape?
Lemminary@lemmy.world 1 year ago
on the ability of current kids’ ability

Droggelbecher@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Given enough time and known lengths, most of my students should be able to calculate the surface area of this by the time they graduate. They’d just split everything into triangles and quadrangles, use the formula for each, then add everything together. It’s not that useful of an exercise though, didactically speaking, because once you grasp that process, it’s just repetitive and lengthy. There’d have to be a LOT of given values to make this solvable, too.
On a more subjective note, they can also form sentences. They just don’t want to when colloquial speech brings the point across just as well and it’s an informal setting. The same is true for most people of all ages in my experience.

Not without chatgpt they can’t…

Why would they change shapes!? SHAPES IS SHAPES!

Nythos@sh.itjust.works 1 year ago
Just block them and move on if you think their posts are spam
Stamets@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 year ago
They’re commenting on the text that I made to two rounds of post trying to help a friend escape an abusive relationship. They’re quite angry about it and, in yelling at me for spamming it, has resorted to spamming the same comment over and over again on every post I’ve made.
ZILtoid1991@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Scutoid is best toid!
betanumerus@lemmy.ca 1 year ago
Better than rheumatoid stuff.
Devjavu@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 year ago
What other toids are there?
ZILtoid1991@lemmy.world 1 year ago
It’s just a joke on the “hexagon is bestagon” saying.
sbeak@sopuli.xyz 1 year ago
I thought area was for 2D things, and volume is for 3D things? Or does he mean surface area?
FridaySteve@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Surface area. It’s Twitter, give people a break.
Treczoks@lemmy.world 1 year ago
It’s Twitter, give people a break.
No. People who still use Twitter/X are already broken…
sbeak@sopuli.xyz 1 year ago
Fair enough
buddascrayon@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Well there’s also the fact that this has more to do with biology than geometry. So this guy’s a moron on multiple levels.
Juice@midwest.social 1 year ago
So how would you calculate this?
betanumerus@lemmy.ca 1 year ago
You need the length for each side. Make triangles. Double each one into a parallelogram. bh/2 for each one.
IzzyScissor@lemmy.world 1 year ago
It’s only 3 pentagons, 1 hexagon, 1 triangle and 3 rectangles for a total of 20 component triangles. Easy!
Fedizen@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Looks like a pentagon on one side and hexagon on the other, aka soccerball pattern. I would be very surprised if the volumes don’t work out close enough just approximating them with [average area of ends] x [length]
