2. Line through ´Ü ¼ Ý ¼ Þ ¼ µ and ´Ü ½ Ý ½ Þ ½ µ: Ü Ü Ý Ý ¼ ¼ Þ Þ ¼ (4.13.3) Ü ½ Ü ¼ Ý ½ Ý ¼ Þ ½ Þ ¼ This line is parallel to the vector ´Ü ½ Ü ¼ Ý ½ Ý ¼ Þ ½ Þ ¼ µ. 4.13.1 DISTANCES 1. The distance between two points in space is the length of the line segment joining them. The distance between the points ´Ü ¼ Ý ¼ Þ ¼ µ and ´Ü ½ Ý ½ Þ ½ µ is Ô ´Ü ½ Ü ¼ µ ¾ ·´Ý ½ Ý ¼ µ ¾ ·´Þ ½ Þ ¼ µ ¾ (4.13.4) 2.

In this case they are concurrent (if the denominator is non-zero) or parallel (if the denominator is zero). Three lines with directions ´ ¼ ¼ ¼ µ, ´ ½ ½ ½ µ, and ´ ¾ ¾ ¾ µ are parallel to a common plane if and only if ¬ ¬¬¬¬¬ ¬ ¼ ¼ ¼¬¬¬¬¬ ½ ½ ½ ¼ (4.13.11) ¾ ¾ ¾ 4.14 POLYHEDRA For any polyhedron topologically equivalent to a sphere—in particular, for any convex polyhedron—the Euler formula holds: Ú · ¾ (4.14.1) where Ú is the number of vertices, is the number of edges, and is the number of faces. Many common polyhedra are particular cases of cylinders (Section 4.15) or cones (Section 4.16). A cylinder with a polygonal base (the base is also called a directrix) is called a prism. A cone with a polygonal base is called a pyramid. A frustum of a cone with a polygonal base is called a truncated pyramid. Formulae (4.15.1), (4.16.1), and (4.16.2) give the volumes of a general prism, pyramid, and truncated pyramid. A prism whose base is a parallelogram is a parallelepiped. The volume of a parallelepiped with one vertex at the origin and adjacent vertices at ´Ü ½ Ý ½ Þ ½ µ, ´Ü ¾ Ý ¾ Þ ¾ µ, and ´Ü ¿ Ý ¿ Þ ¿ µ is given by volume ¬ Ü ½ Ý ½ Þ ½¬¬¬¬¬ Ü ¾ Ý ¾ Þ ¾ (4.14.2) ¬ Ü ¿ Ý ¿ Þ ¿ The rectangular parallelepiped is a particular case: all of its faces are rectangles. If the side lengths are , the volume is , the total surface area is ¾´··µ, and each diagonal has length Ô ¾ · ¾ · ¾ . When we get the cube. See Section 4.14.1. A pyramid whose base is a triangle is a tetrahedron. The volume of a tetrahedon with one vertex at the origin and the other vertices at ´Ü ½ Ý ½ Þ ½ µ, © 2003 by CRC Press LLC
