(3d) Whether line segment intersects triangle |
2019-04-13 |
|
From rj:
Well hello,
Lets say I have a triangle,
Not any ordinary triangle, but a triangle that is represented in 3 dimensions. I also have a line segment.
Lets say that this triangle has points A(0,0,0), B(1,0,0), C(0,1,1)
And the line segment has points D(0,1/2,0), E(1,1/2,1)
In what way can I find if the line segment and triangle intersect? Their intersection point?
I don't prefer matrices, because they don't make any sense, but ... if that's the only way to solve this, then do what's necessary.
Thank you in advance.

Slicing a rectangular parallelepiped |
2011-02-23 |
|
From tom:
a) Pass a plane containing a vertex of a rectangular parallelepiped and a
diagonal of a face not containing that vertex to cut a pyramid from the
parallelepiped. What fraction of the volume of the parallelepiped is the
volume of the pyramid thus cut off?
b)Pass a plane through a cube of edge 8 in so that the section formed
will be a regular hexagon. Through each side of the hexagon pass two
planes, one plane containing one of the two vertices of the cube
which are farthest away from the plane of the hexagon, the other
plane containing the diagonally opposite vertex of the cube. Find the
volume of the solid bounded by these planes.
c)three of the edges of a rectangular parallelepiped that meet in a point
are also the lateral edges of a pyramid. What fraction of the parallelepiped
is this pyramid...?
you know the my only problem is how to illustrate this one...if only i
could ...can you help me....all I need is the drawing and I can do the rest
..it's fine if you'll only answer any of these but I'll be thankful if you
will do the three :)....

Can a line segment curve over two planes? |
2010-02-14 |
|
From Graham:
I am working on a math fair project.
Can a line segment curve over two planes?
Such as, if I had a three dimensional L bracket and I drew a line segment
on it with a marker starting on the bottom of the L and had it curve
around the corner and up the top, would it still be considered one line
segment? Or is that two line segments?
Is there a rule that a line segment can only occupy one plane?
Thank you.
Graham

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.

Is a sheet of paper 2-dimensional? |
2000-03-06 |
|
From Jaclyn Evans:
One day, we were discussing 3-dimensional items. Is a sheet of paper considered a 3-dimensional shape? Or is it 2-dimensional as described by 8.5 by 11 size? Also, could you give me an example of a 4-dimensional item or scenario?
