1. What is Longer Base Edge of Skewed Three Edged Prism?

Longer Base Edge of Skewed Three Edged Prism is the length of the longest edge of the triangular face at the bottom of the Skewed Three Edged Prism. It is an important geometric parameter in three-dimensional shape analysis.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the formula:

\[ le_{Long Base} = \frac{2 \times A_{Trapezoidal(Long)}}{h_{Medium} + h_{Short}} \]

Where:

\( le_{Long Base} \) — Longer Base Edge of Skewed Three Edged Prism (m)
\( A_{Trapezoidal(Long)} \) — LE Trapezoidal Area of Skewed Three Edged Prism (m²)
\( h_{Medium} \) — Medium Height of Skewed Three Edged Prism (m)
\( h_{Short} \) — Short Height of Skewed Three Edged Prism (m)

Explanation: This formula calculates the longer base edge by relating the trapezoidal area to the sum of medium and short heights of the prism.

3. Importance of Longer Base Edge Calculation

Details: Calculating the longer base edge is crucial for geometric analysis, structural design, and understanding the spatial properties of skewed three-edged prisms in various engineering and architectural applications.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter LE Trapezoidal Area in square meters, Medium Height and Short Height in meters. All values must be positive numbers greater than zero.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is a Skewed Three Edged Prism?
A: A Skewed Three Edged Prism is a polyhedron with two parallel triangular bases and three rectangular lateral faces that are not perpendicular to the bases.

Q2: Why is the longer base edge important?
A: The longer base edge helps determine the overall dimensions and stability of the prism structure, which is essential in construction and design applications.

Q3: What units should I use for input values?
A: Use consistent units - typically meters for lengths and square meters for areas to maintain dimensional consistency.

Q4: Can this formula be used for other types of prisms?
A: This specific formula is designed for skewed three-edged prisms and may not apply directly to other prism types without modification.

Q5: What if the sum of heights is zero?
A: The sum of heights cannot be zero as both medium and short heights must be positive values greater than zero for a valid geometric configuration.
