How many faces edges and vertices does a cone have?

A cone has one face - its base - and one edge but no vertices. Vertices only occur at the meeting of two straight surfaces.


What is the shape of ballpen?

It is generally very irregular and depends on the make of the ball pen. Some are hexagonal prisms with circular tapers at one end.


A is thick on one end and tapers to a thin edge at th other end?

A is a wedge.

How do you Draw Polyline Arcs in GstarCAD?

With GStarICAD, a polyline is a connected sequence of arcs and lines that is treated as a single entity. You can draw a polyline with any linetype and using a width that either remains constant or tapers over the length of any segment. When editing a polyline, you can modify the entire polyline or change individual segments. After you specify the start point of a polyline, a prompt box provides several options as you draw, such as Distance, Halfwidth, and Width. You can specify different starting and ending widths to create a tapered polyline segment. After you draw at least one polyline segment, you can use the Undo option to remove the previous segment. After you draw two or more polyline segments, you can use the Close option to complete the command by drawing a segment that ends at the start point of the first polyline segment you drew. Choose Done to complete the command without closing the polyline.

How are cones and cylinder alike?

They are both three dimensional ovals with a flattened base, however, a cone has a pointed tip and tapers down to the base while a cylinder has two flattened circular bases.


Why does a candle flame tapers at the top and bottom?

A candle structure includes a candle body and a plurality of wicks. The candle body is configured with a top and bottom surface, and an outside wall that tapers substantially inward from the top surface to the bottom surface. The plurality of wicks is configured to supply air through the gaps of standing wicks that protrude from the top surface of the candle structure. The plurality of wicks extends above the body and the wicks are aligned longitudinally. The plurality of wicks is arranged radially to taper outward toward the bottom surface of the candle body.


What is the base and height of a cone?

A cone is an n-dimensional geometric shape that tapers smoothly from a base (usually flat and circular) to a point called the apex or vertex.Formally, it is the solid figure formed by the locus of all straight line segments that join the apex to the base. The term "cone" is sometimes used to refer to the surface or the lateral surface of this solid figure (the lateral surface of a cone is equal to the surface minus the base).The axis of a cone is the straight line (if any), passing through the apex, about which the base has a rotational symmetry.In common usage in elementary geometry, cones are assumed to be right circular, where right means that the axis passes through the centre of the base (suitably defined) at right angles to its plane, and circular means that the base is a circle. Contrasted with right cones are oblique cones, in which the axis does not pass perpendicularly through the centre of the base.[1] In general, however, the base may be any shape, and the apex may lie anywhere (though it is often assumed that the base is bounded and has finite area, and that the apex lies outside the plane of the base). For example, a pyramid is technically a cone with a polygonal base.


Why do high heels have a smaller surface area?

This is not necessarily true. Only when the heal tapers will its surface area be smaller. The surface area is that which is in contact with the ground. Platform shoes are likely to have the same surface area as normal shoes, and stilettos will have a very tapered heel and therefore small surface area and great pressure per square unit)

How long until you can change your tapers into plugs?

Tapers aren't jewelry.. you have them in for about 10-15 minutes then change it with the plugs but don't take to long to change them. Tapers aren't made to stay in your ear for long or it will mess your ears up.


What is the ear gauge of a taper?

Tapers come in all different sizes. From 14g to 1 inch, But I don't suggest using tapers after 0g.
