The Height of Gyrobifastigium is the vertical distance between the lowest and highest points of this Johnson solid. It is an important geometric measurement that helps characterize the three-dimensional structure of this polyhedron.
The calculator uses the formula:
Where:
Explanation: This formula establishes a direct proportional relationship between the edge length and the height of the gyrobifastigium, with the square root of 3 serving as the constant of proportionality.
Details: Calculating the height of a gyrobifastigium is essential for understanding its spatial dimensions, volume calculations, and for applications in architecture, crystallography, and mathematical modeling of polyhedral structures.
Tips: Enter the edge length of the gyrobifastigium in meters. The value must be positive and non-zero. The calculator will automatically compute the corresponding height.
Q1: What is a Gyrobifastigium?
A: A gyrobifastigium is a Johnson solid constructed by attaching two triangular prisms along their square faces with a 90-degree rotation.
Q2: Why is the square root of 3 used in the formula?
A: The square root of 3 appears due to the geometric relationships and trigonometric properties inherent in the structure of the gyrobifastigium.
Q3: Can this formula be used for any polyhedron?
A: No, this specific formula applies only to the gyrobifastigium. Different polyhedra have different geometric relationships between their edge lengths and heights.
Q4: What are the units of measurement?
A: The calculator uses meters for both input and output, but the formula works with any consistent unit system (cm, mm, inches, etc.).
Q5: How accurate is this calculation?
A: The calculation is mathematically exact, assuming precise input values. The result's practical accuracy depends on the precision of the edge length measurement.
