Why is a sphere rarely used for packaging?
A sphere cannot be stacked tightly together. (It can't tessellate) A cube for example can and therefore maximizes storage space.
Can a triangular prism and cubic tessellate?
Tessellate normally refers to two dimensional shapes covering the two dimensional plane without gaps of overlap, not 3-d space. In any case, this question cannot be answered because it does not specify a cubic WHAT!
Why don't some regular polygons tessellate?
When a regular polygon can tessellate, it can be placed around a point (which has an angle of 360 degrees) with no 'space' left over. However some regular polygons don't tessellate because their interior angle is not a factor of 360 (does not go into 360 equally), meaning that there will be 'space' left over or it will overlap. To check if a regular polygon can tessellate, see if it's interior angle goes into 360 equally. (360/interior angle), if it does, it will tessellate and if it doesn't it's because the interior angle is not a factor of 360 meaning it will not fit round a point and won't tessellate.
The Cartesian coordinate system can be used to describe threedimensional space Instead of two axes the coordinate system has three What are their labels?
Hey, With 2 axes its x and y with 3 its x,y and z Toby

Which refers to the number of cubic units inside a space figure?

Why do all quadrilaterals tessellate?
In geometry, when quadrilaterals tessellate, they fill a finite or infinite space with no overlaps or gaps between shapes. All quadrilaterals tessellate because they can all be linked together side by side in some shape or form with no overlaps.

Space figure with faces that are polygons?
A __________ is a space figure in which all faces are polygons.
What space figure has seven faces?
A heptagon is a space figure with 7 faces
How do you find the surface area of a space figure?
The surface area of a space figure is the total area of all the faces of the figure
Can a 3D shape tessellate?
Yes, many 3D shapes can tessellate, of course the cube, but also triangular and rectangular prisms. Spheres fit together in a regular repeating layout as well, but leave space between. There are also other shapes that can tessellate too, a portion of 3D n-imoes, for example, but aren't regular geometric shapes.
What do you call the number of cubic units needed to fill a space figure?
Which refers to the number of cubic units inside a space figure?
What is a space figure in geometry?
A space figure is a figure or shape in 3-dimensional space. It could be solid but it need not be: for example, it could be a wriggly line drawn on the surface of a sphere.
What measures the amount of space inside a solid figure?
There is no "space" inside a solid figure (body).However the solid figure can be measured in terms of its volume (the amount of space it occupies).
