Unit 5-Properties of Geometric Solids PPT Quiz

This solid property refers to the quantity of matter in an object.

mass

A ____________ is an independent entity whose location is defined in space.

work point

A ____________ is a line that extends forever in two directions.

work axis

A ____________ is a continuous two-dimensional plane that can be used to establish sketch planes.

work plane

This solid property refers to the amont of three-dimensional space occupied by an object or enclosed within a container.

volume

This solid property is the force of gravity acting on an object.

weight

The number of square units required to cover a surface.

area

1. An imaginary line through a body, about which it rotates. 2. An imaginary line about which a regular figure is symmetrically arranged. 3. A fixed reference line for the measurement of coordinates.

axis

A triangle that contains only angles that are less than 90 degrees.

acute triangle

A 3D point where the total weight of the body may be considered to be concentrated.

center of gravity

The amount of rotation needed to bring one line or plane into coincidence with another, generally measured in radians or degrees.

angle

The amount of rotation needed to bring one line or plane into coincidence with another, generally measured in radians or degrees.

angle

A 3D point defining the geometric center of a solid.

centroid

A shape generated by a point moving in a plane so that the sum of its distances from two other points (the foci) is constant and equal to the major axis.

ellipse

1. A triangle located round a polygon such as a circle. 2 To draw a figure around another, touching it at points but not cutting it.

cricumscribe

A straight line passing from side to side through the center of a circle or sphere.

diameter

A solid composed of two congruent circles in parallel planes, their interiors, and all the line segments parallel to the axis with endpoints on the two circles.

cylinder

A curve formed at the interior intersection between two or more surfaces.

fillet

The curved upper surface of a liquid column that is concave when the containing walls are wetted by the liquid and convex when not.

meniscus

A four-sided polygon with both pairs of opposite sides parallel.

parallelogram

The amount of matter in an object or the quantity of the inertia of the object.

mass

The numerical value of the ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter of approximately 3.14159.

pi

A triangle with one angle that is greater than 90 degrees.

obtuse triangle

Any plane figure bounded by straight lines.

polygon

A four-sided polygon.

quadrilateral

The lines of intersection created from three mutually perpendicular planes, with the three planes' point of intersection at the centroid of the part.

principal axes

A straight line from the center to the circumference of a circle or sphere.

radius

A polygon with equal angles and equal sides.

regular polygon

A parallelogram with 90 degree angles. A square is also a rectangle.

rectangle

A solid geometric figure whose two ends are similar, equal, and parallel rectilinear figures, and whose sides are parallelograms.

prism

A triangle that has a 90 degree angle.

right trangle

A table located in the bottom right-hand corner of an engineering drawing that identifies, in an organized way, all of the necessary information that is not given on the drawing itself. Also referred to as a title strip.

title block

A straight or curved line that intersects a circle or arc at one point only.

tangent

A regular polygon with four equal sides and four 90 degree angles.

square

Two or more exterior surfaces rounded at their intersections.

round

The squared dimensions of the exterior surface

surface area

A polygon with three sides.

triangle

Each angular point of a polygon, polyhedron, or other figure.

vertex

The amount of three-dimensional space occupied by an object or enclosed within a container.

volume

A four-sided polygon.

quadrilateral
