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
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?
