The Medium Height of Skewed Three Edged Prism is the length of the medium sized lateral edge of the Skewed Three Edged Prism. It represents one of the three different height measurements in this geometric shape.
The calculator uses the formula:
Where:
Explanation: This formula calculates the medium height by finding the square root of the difference between the squares of the longer top and base edges, then adding the short height.
Details: Calculating the medium height is crucial for determining the complete dimensional properties of a skewed three-edged prism, which is essential in various engineering and architectural applications where precise geometric measurements are required.
Tips: Enter all measurements in meters. The longer top edge and longer base edge must be positive values, and the short height must be non-negative. Ensure that the longer top edge is greater than or equal to the longer base edge 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: Why are there three different heights in this prism?
A: Because the prism is skewed, each of the three lateral edges has a different length, resulting in three distinct height measurements.
Q3: 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 use the same unit.
Q4: What if the longer top edge is shorter than the longer base edge?
A: The formula requires that the longer top edge must be greater than or equal to the longer base edge. Otherwise, you'll get an invalid result from the square root operation.
Q5: Can this calculator handle decimal inputs?
A: Yes, the calculator accepts decimal values with up to 4 decimal places for precise calculations.
