Solid geometry, stereometry

Solid geometry is the name for the geometry of three-dimensional Euclidean space.

Stereometry deals with the measurements of volumes of various solid figures (three-dimensional figures) including pyramids, prisms and other polyhedrons; cylinders; cones; truncated cones; and balls bounded by spheres.

  1. Right pyramid
    squarepyramid A right pyramid on a base 4 cm square has a slant edge of 6 cm. Calculate the volume of the pyramid.
  2. Steel tube
    pipe1 The steel tube has an inner diameter of 4 cm and an outer diameter of 4.8 cm. The density of the steel is 7800 kg/m3. Calculate its length if it weighs 15 kg.
  3. Right circular cone
    cut-cone The volume of a right circular cone is 5 liters. Calculate the volume of the two parts into which the cone is divided by a plane parallel to the base, one-third of the way down from the vertex to the base.
