The Medium Base Edge of Skewed Three Edged Prism is the length of the medium-sized edge of the triangular face at the bottom of the Skewed Three Edged Prism. It is an important geometric parameter used in various engineering and architectural calculations.
The calculator uses the formula:
Where:
Explanation: The formula calculates the medium base edge by subtracting the lengths of the longer and shorter base edges from the total perimeter of the triangular base.
Details: Accurate calculation of the medium base edge is crucial for determining the complete geometry of the skewed three-edged prism, which is essential for structural analysis, volume calculations, and manufacturing specifications.
Tips: Enter the even base perimeter, longer base edge, and shorter base edge in meters. All values must be positive numbers. The calculator will automatically compute the medium base edge.
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 it called "Even Base Perimeter"?
A: The term "Even Base Perimeter" refers to the total perimeter of the base triangle, which remains constant regardless of the prism's skewness.
Q3: Can this formula be used for any triangular prism?
A: This specific formula applies to skewed three-edged prisms where the base edges are classified as long, medium, and short based on their relative lengths.
Q4: What units should I use for the inputs?
A: The calculator uses meters as the default unit, but you can use any consistent unit of length as long as all inputs are in the same unit.
Q5: What if the calculated medium base edge is negative?
A: A negative result indicates that the input values are inconsistent (the sum of long and short edges exceeds the total perimeter), suggesting an error in measurement or input.
