A stained glass lamp |
2011-07-25 |
|
Guy pose la question : Like Kay, I also work in stained glass, but in 3-dimensions. I am
frequently asked to replicate lamp shades in stained glass where the
diameter of the top is different (narrower) from the diameter of the
bottom (which is wider). Some people want 5, 6, 7, 8, 10, 12, 16, ,,,
n-sided shades. Is there a formula I can use to determine the width
of the sides using the angle, if I remember correctly, I think it's
called theta. In other words, is there a formula where I can plug
in the angle which describes the arc of the circle. For instance, if
someone asks for a 7 sided shade, plugging in 51.43 (360/7). I
could then use that to determine the width at the top and bottom
rings to create the appropriate trapezoids. I've visited a few sites
so the formula looks like its a function of sin & cos but they are
presented like proofs for teaching. Your site appears to want to
actually answer questions without making the inquirer feel stupid. Harley Weston lui répond. |

The area of a trapezoid |
2010-01-06 |

maureen pose la question : the question asks for the area of a trapezoid with parallel sides 5m and 6m and height of 2.5m
I have done it by dividing the trapezoid into 2 triangles and reach the same answer as my manual---11.25 sq. m
My question...how would you illustrate this? I read this to mean to sets of parallel sides, which would mean it is a parallelogram and not a trapezoid.
Any suggestions? Robert Dawson lui répond. |
