PLEASE CHECK THIS OUT. Our own Aeronmelon is going through some shit at the moment and could use some help. Check it out here and consider an upvote or a comment to push it into activity. Sorry, not something I do often or will be spamming. But I care about my friend and if I can get a couple more eyes on his situation then I'm going to try to do what I can.

Wouldn't that make the face on the right non-planar?

That scutoid (possibly all of them, I don't know) is just a pentagonal prism with a corner cut off.

STOP MAKING NEW SHAPES.
WE HAVE ENOUGH SHAPES.
krooklochurm 13 points a year ago
We already have all the shapes we need. Square. Circle. Octagon. Tetrahedron. Tesseract. Penis.
That's enough shapes.
noodly_appendage 14 points a year ago
Did you just skip Hexagons?! Hexagons are the Bestagons!
krooklochurm 10 points a year ago
Octagons and hexagons are the same thing. It's right there in the name. Gon. It's okay, many people think they're different shapes, it's a very very common misconception.

A penis is just a fancy cylinder

Volume is also nothing but polygons, where accuracy depends on number of slices.
Or: dump it in a water tub and measure height of water line.

It's not hard to say at all, "if the integral can be solved analytically or not" is hardly a tongue twister
Try "she sells sea shells by the sea shore." Now that's hard to say

Any teachers here wanna weigh in on the ability of current kids' ability to write complete sentences, let alone calculate the area of this shape?

Droggelbecher 7 points a year ago
Given enough time and known lengths, most of my students should be able to calculate the surface area of this by the time they graduate. They'd just split everything into triangles and quadrangles, use the formula for each, then add everything together. It's not that useful of an exercise though, didactically speaking, because once you grasp that process, it's just repetitive and lengthy. There'd have to be a LOT of given values to make this solvable, too.
On a more subjective note, they can also form sentences. They just don't want to when colloquial speech brings the point across just as well and it's an informal setting. The same is true for most people of all ages in my experience.
butterycroissant 5 points a year ago
honestly not even sure how i remember doing complex math in hs
slaneesh_is_right 3 points a year ago
I used to be pretty good at math, especially when it comes to shapes. The other day i had to calculate a triangle to order bricks, i almost lost my damn mind.

Well there's also the fact that this has more to do with biology than geometry. So this guy's a moron on multiple levels.
betanumerus 7 points a year ago
You need the length of each edge. Probably some angles too. Make triangles. Double each triangle into a parallelogram. bh/2 for each one. Sum. Mostly just tedious because there are so many.
IzzyScissor 3 points a year ago
It's only 3 pentagons, 1 hexagon, 1 triangle and 3 rectangles for a total of 20 component triangles. Easy!
Fedizen 3 points a year ago
Looks like a pentagon on one side and hexagon on the other, aka soccerball pattern. I would be very surprised if the volumes don't work out close enough just approximating them with [average area of ends] x [length]
finitebanjo 1 point a year ago
I'm sure that would be more beginning of college level math, and then revisited in Calculus

God damn your spam is everywhere
Stamets 14 points a year ago
They're commenting on the text that I made to two rounds of post trying to help a friend escape an abusive relationship. They're quite angry about it and, in yelling at me for spamming it, has resorted to spamming the same comment over and over again on every post I've made.
Stamets 7 points a year ago
Oh I've been around on lemmy for a couple years now and trolls like that aren't exactly a threat. I don't mean to sound full of myself, but I just post way too often for them to even noticed anymore. I usually get sent screenshots or links on Matrix/Discord like "LOL did you see this?" to which I definitely did not. Was just hard to ignore every single post having a single comment on it, something that isn't really that typical for Lemmy. Especially not that quickly. I keep an eye on general trends of things. If people don't like a thing I stop posting the thing. But individual children screaming into the night? Meh. All I see in my head is just a giant filter with [REDDITOR] written over it half the time.
But.
Even if I did give the remotest of a shit about a toddler, I don't care about this circumstance. I post a lot and I made a deal to myself that I'd take two rounds of posting and add in a link to Aeronmelons post. He made it a week ago and didn't get a ton of attention. That combined with a ko-fi issue meant that things weren't super awesome for him. So I wanted to boost it again a little bit. Bump the thread. He's going through hell right now and I went through something similar but far less brutal. I'll do a lot for my friends and this? Isn't much. So even if I did care about people getting angry at me on the internet, I don't care when it means that there is a chance to help him. WELL worth the trade off, as far as I'm concerned. I'd gladly do it again.
Doing nothing is easier and might make people happier but doesn't get anything done. If I piss off a few people then oh well. I'm sorry for that. Hope they forgive me. But I'm not sorry I did it. I hope they can understand that, even if they don't respect or agree with it.
