	A plane		2013-10-27
		From Thomas: Why is this 3d plane flat? if m ≠ n arcsin(sin(m*arctan(x/y))), arcsin(cos(n*arctan(x/y))), Pi-arcsin(sin(m*arctan(x/y)))-arcsin(cos(n*arctan(x/y))) This is using radians. These are angles of a triangle, when m and n are the same it is a right triangle. All three inputs are not equal to each other. The last input is pi minus the first two inputs, which makes a complete triangle. I was kind of hoping to find more lissajous curves. It doesn't make sense to me that this is a flat plane, a diagonal one at that. I'm not a student or anything. I'm just wasting time. Answered by Chris Fisher.

	A 3D cardboard cupcake		2010-01-30
		From Margaret: Hi, I'm an art student and I'm attempting to build a 3D cupcake out of cardboard. I want it to have a circular base of 8.5 inches and sides that are 7'' tall and slope outward so the top of the base is 29'. The top with the frosting would be a detachable lid made from a cone with a base circumfrance of 29". My problem is how to cut the side so they will slope out, I'm pretty sure there needs to be a curve, however I don't how to calculate the degree of it. Ideally I want the sides to be a single piece of cardboard. I also don't know how to calculate the arc needed to make a cone who's circular base's circumfrence is 29''. Thanks, Margaret Answered by Stephen La Rocque.
	The volume of a closed 3D mesh object		2009-09-10
		From Ozen: I want to calculate the volume of a closed 3D mesh object having a surface made up triangles. Answered by Robert Dawson.
	The midpoints of two sides of a triangle		2009-03-17
		From Manis: Prove that the line joining the midpoint of two sides of a triangle is parallel to the third and half of it. Answered by Robert Dawson.
	A plane cuts a line segment		2009-03-17
		From Manis: Find the ratio in which the line joining (2,4,16) and (3,5,-4) is divided by the plane 2x-3y+z+6=0. Answered by Robert Dawson.
	3-D Vectors		2008-07-22
		From jenina: 1. The summit of a mountain, 2450m above base camp, is measured on a map to be 4580m horizontally from the camp in a direction 32.4º west of north. What are the components of the displacement vector from camp to summit? What is its magnitude? Choose the x axis east, y axis north and z axis up. Answered by Janice Cotcher.
	What is the name of the shape that is 3D and irregular?		2007-06-14
		From alan: What is the name of the shape that is 3D and irregular? Answered by Stephen La Rocque and Penny Nom.
	A sphere in a cube		2006-11-09
		From Lukas: Given a cube and a cross diagonal, what is the largest size sphere that fits in the cube and does not touch or intersect the cross diagonal? Answered by Steve La Rocque, Penny Nom and Walter Whiteley.
	Distance in 3-space		2002-08-16
		From David: The question is: how do I figure out the distance of one object in 3D space to another object in 3D space? I have an object at say x = 5.872, y = 2.876, and z = 7.290; and the other object is at x = 1.129, y = -8.213, and z = -11.127. I have been suggested to use the pythagorean theory on this, but since there are three variables, I don't understand how. Answered by Penny Nom.
	A 3 dimensional 5 pointed star		2001-11-08
		From Kent: I am looking for a formula that will give me a layout for a 3 dimensional 5 pointed star. I want to form it out of sheet metal, using 5 polygons and soldering them at the apex. Can you please help me with this? I would like to be able to give the formula the height of the star from the bottom two points to the top point and also how deep the star is. Thank you very much! Answered by Judi McDonald.
