The number of facets on a diamond is dictated by its size and the shape of the cut. For example, an emerald cut stone has 57 facets and a baguette cut stone has 25.

The radiant cut has 70 facets.

An 8/8 or single cut stone has 17 facets. When the symmetry of the facets is angularly perfect, the table of the stone delivers optimum luster for the stone.

How many facets in a single cut diamond?

From a forum contributor who apparently appraises diamonds:"Single cut diamonds are round stones with a 17-facet design. Full cut stones are round stones with a standard 58 facet design. These terms are used to describe the small stones used in groups or as decorative elements on a piece. They are collectively known as melee."


The first side of a triangle measures 5 inches less than the second side the third side is 3 inches more than the first side and the perimeter is 17 inches Please tell me how long each side would be?

Five plus three equals 8, right? So the the second side would be eight inches. 17-8=9. so the first side is 5 inches less than the second side, which would make it 3 inches. The third side is +3 which would make it 6 inches. The equation is 3 inches + 6 inches+8 inches= 17 inches.


How big is a 17 carat diamond that is cut?

The perimeter of a rectangle is 34 inches The length is 4 less than twice the width What is the length of the rectangle Write a system of equations for this problem?

2L + 2W = 34 L + W = 17 L = 2W - 4 3W - 4 = 17 3W = 21 W = 7 L = 10


What could be the length of the third side of a triangle that has two sides of lengths 5 and 13?

To create a triangle, the sum of the two shorter sides must be greater than the third side. If the side of length 13 is the longest side then the missing side must be greater than 13 - 5 = 8 If the missing side is the longest side then the missing side must be less than 13 + 5 = 18 Thus any length that is greater than 8 and less than 18 Examples include: 9, 12, 17 If the third side is 12, the triangle is a Pythagorean triangle.
