The Longer Top Edge of Skewed Three Edged Prism is the length of the longest edge of the triangular face at the top of the Skewed Three Edged Prism. It is an important geometric parameter in three-dimensional shape analysis.
The calculator uses the formula:
Where:
Explanation: The formula calculates the longest edge by subtracting the known shorter and medium edges from the total perimeter of the triangular top face.
Details: Accurate calculation of the longer top edge is crucial for geometric analysis, structural design, and mathematical modeling of skewed three-edged prisms in engineering and architecture applications.
Tips: Enter all three known values in meters. Ensure that the sum of shorter and medium edges is less than the total perimeter for valid results.
Q1: What is a Skewed Three Edged Prism?
A: A Skewed Three Edged Prism is a polyhedron with two parallel triangular faces (bases) and three rectangular lateral faces that are not perpendicular to the bases.
Q2: When is this calculation most useful?
A: This calculation is particularly useful in architectural design, structural engineering, and geometric modeling where precise dimensions of polyhedral shapes are required.
Q3: What units should be used for input?
A: The calculator accepts inputs in meters, but any consistent unit of length can be used as long as all inputs use the same unit.
Q4: Are there any limitations to this formula?
A: The formula assumes a valid triangular configuration where the sum of any two sides is greater than the third side, following the triangle inequality theorem.
Q5: Can this calculator handle decimal inputs?
A: Yes, the calculator accepts decimal inputs with up to 4 decimal places precision for accurate calculations.
