Surface
A surface is a two-dimensional piece of three-dimensional space.
Surface is a middle school-level concept.
Examples
| Cone: |
A cone is a pyramid with a circular cross section. |
| Cylinder: |
A cylinder is a solid of circular cross section in which the centers of the circles all lie on a single line. |
| Möbius Strip: |
A Moebius strip is one-sided nonorientable surface obtained by cutting a closed band into a single strip, giving it half a twist, and then reattaching the two ends. |
| Sphere: |
A sphere is the set of all points in three-dimensional space that are located at a fixed distance from a given point. |
| Surface of Revolution: |
A surface generated by rotating a two-dimensional curve about an axis. |
| Torus: |
A torus is a closed surface containing a single hole that is shaped like a doughnut. |
Prerequisites
| Parametric Equations: |
Parametric equations are a set of equations that together express a set of quantities as explicit functions of a number of independent variables, which are known as parameters. |
