Do any one know what is geometrical solids and do they have a web site  that can give me the definition on it?

The 13 Archimedean solids are the convex polyhedra that have a similar arrangement of nonintersecting regular convex polygons of two or more different types arranged in the same way about each vertex with all sides the same length (Cromwell 1997, pp. 91-92). \n\nThe Archimedean solids are distinguished by having very high symmetry, thus excluding solids belonging to a dihedral group of symmetries (e.g., the two infinite families of regular prisms and antiprisms), as well as the the elongated square gyrobicupola (because that surface's symmetry-breaking twist allows vertices "near the equator" and those "in the polar regions" to be distinguished; Cromwell 1997, p. 92). The Archimedean solids are sometimes also referred to as the semiregular polyhedra. \n\nThe Archimedean solids are illustrated below in alphabetical order (left to right, then continuing to the next row).

Think what you are looking for is Euclidian Space:\n\nAround 300 BC, the Greek mathematician Euclid laid down the rules of what has now come to be called "Euclidean geometry", which is the study of the relationships between angles and distances in space. Euclid first developed "plane geometry" which dealt with the geometry of two-dimensional objects on a flat surface. He then went on to develop "solid geometry" which analyzed the geometry of three-dimensional objects. All of the axioms of Euclid have been encoded into an abstract mathematical space known as a two- or three-dimensional Euclidean Space. These mathematical spaces may be extended to apply to any dimensionality, and such a space is called an n-dimensional Euclidean space or an n-space. This article is concerned with such mathematical spaces.\n\nIn order to develop these higher dimensional Euclidean spaces, the properties of the familiar Euclidean spaces must be very carefully expressed and then extended to an arbitrary dimension. Although the resulting mathematics is rather abstract, it nevertheless captures the essential nature of the Euclidean spaces we are all familiar with.\n\nAn essential property of a Euclidean space is its flatness. Other spaces exist that are not Euclidean. For example, the surface of a sphere is not a Euclidean space, nor is the four-dimensional spacetime described by the theory of relativity when gravity is present.

That depends very much on the type of solid.  Mathematically you need to know a lot about its various dimensions and shape.  \n\nPrevious posters have given the answer for box-like shapes (length * width * height) and a cylinder (Pi*r^2*h).  A sphere is PI * 4/3 * (R ^ 3).  \n\nFor complex items you need calculus as well.\n\nIn physics, dunk it in a tank of water filled to the brim and measure the volume of water it displaces.  This works for any shape, provided it fits in the tank.

For a specific kind of solid, yes.  In general, no.\n\nFor example, a cube with a side length of s will have a volume of s^3 and a surface area of 6s^2.  So, for any cube, the volume and surface area will be in the ratio of s/6.\n\nFor a right cylinder, the volume is (pi)r^2*h, while the surface area is given by 2(pi)r^2 + 2(pi)r*h, which through some algebraic manipulation can be reduced to 2(r+h)(pi*r).  So the ratio of volume to surface area for a cylinder will be r*h to 2(r+h)... \n\nFor other solids, you could observe similar relationships, but in general, the relationship depends on the shape of the solid, so you could not make a definitive statement about the surface area enclosing a certain volume unless you also knew what shape that volume was in.

word for word from MathWorld\n\nA regular polygon is an -sided polygon in which the sides are all the same length and are symmetrically placed about a common center (i.e., the polygon is both equiangular and equilateral). Only certain regular polygons are "constructible" using the classical Greek tools of the compass and straightedge. \n\nThe terms equilateral triangle and square refer to the regular 3- and 4-polygons, respectively. The words for polygons with  sides (e.g., pentagon, hexagon, heptagon, etc.) can refer to either regular or non-regular polygons, although the terms generally refer to regular polygons in the absence of specific wording.

Been a while, so I'm not sure what you're looking for exactly in "Geometric Shapes".. but these might help somewhat.\n\nSun/Plannets - Sphere\nTree Trunk - Cylindar\nPine Tree - Cone\n\n\n...and my brain stops working.  but just for humor's sake...\nGood Looking Woman - hourgalss\n\n=D good luck with the homework

i just got done with geometry and i hated it i'm more of an algebra person.  but to survive geometry you have to take notes and study!  there are so many formulas its not even funny! ugh shapes we're not my best thing in the world. but ask questions when you don't understand because when you don't understand one thing you won't understand a lot of things that go with it.  i hate geometry proofs!!!!!!!!!   check ya later ♥

go to yahoo.com and do a search for fractal geometry and see what you come up with.

This is a good one.\nAccording to the definition in geometry a vertex is a corner.\n\nA triangle has 3 vertices \nA square has 4 vertices  \n \nSo far it is a piece of cake.\n\nSo how many corners does a sphere have? \n\nIf we have to approximate a sphere (actually I’m thinking of a circle but for our argument it is good enough) we would need infinitely many edges (or sides) and therefore would generate infinite number of vertices since a vertex is formed between every two edges. \n\nSo a sphere has infinite number of vertices. \n\nSome people would say that it has a zero vertices since there are no corners to a sphere. But now you know better don’t you?

geometry:the pure mathematics of points and lines and curves and surfaces\n\nGeometry (from the Greek words Geo = earth and metro = measure) is the branch of mathematics first popularized in ancient Greek culture by Thales (circa 624-547 BC) dealing with spatial relationships
