What is prolate spheroid?

A prolate spheroid is a three-dimensional shape that is formed by rotating an ellipse around its longer axis. It is elongated in shape, like a rugby ball or an American football. Prolate spheroids have two equal semi-diameters and a longer equatorial diameter.


Is a football an oblate spheroid?

No, but it is a prolate spheroid. Alternative answer: An American football is not well described by a prolate spheroid, though that shape can describe a rugby ball. An American football is more accurately described as a vesica piscis that has been rotated about it's long axis.

Can you give me an example of source code using gotoxy and Microsoft visual basic c plus plus 2006?

can you help me create a program that will have the following output: [1] Volume of Ellipsoid [2] Volume of Prolate Spheroid [3] Surface Area of Prolate Spheroid [4] Volume of Oblate Spheroid [5] Surface Area of Oblate Spheroid [6] Surface Area of Spherical Triangle Enter Your Choice: You have chosen: Enter Side a: Enter Side b: Enter Side c: Volume = Do you want to try again? [Y/N] ... it must use gotoxy and clear screen after choosing Y or N ( in do you want to try again) it must be used in Microsoft visual basic c++ 2006,, here are the following formulas;; Volume of Ellipsoid = (4/3)*3.14*a*b*c ( input a,b,c) Volume of Prolate Spheroid = (4/3)*3.14*a*(pow(b,2)) (input a,b) Surface Area of Prolate Spheroid = 2*3.14*b*L (input b,L) Volume of Oblate Spheroid = (4/3)*3.14*(pow(a,2))*b Surface Area of Oblate Spheroid = 2*3.14*a*y where: y = a+(number/denom) number = pow(b,2) denom = 2(sqrt(pow(a,2)-pow(b,2)) (input a,b) Surface of Spherical Triangle = ( A+B+C-3.14)*pow(r,2) (input A,B,C,r)
