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.

Why does it remind me of this?

I found this to help me imagine the shape:

[-] PaintedSnail@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago

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

[-] scratchee@feddit.uk 7 points 1 month ago

If you’re free to put the center vertex anywhere, then I’d think you could position it to avoid that…

[-] Tlaloc_Temporal@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 month ago

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.

[-] SkaveRat@discuss.tchncs.de 46 points 1 month ago

I'm not sure.

My doctor always says that I'm out of shape, so I'm sure I should get a new one

[-] krooklochurm@lemmy.ca 12 points 1 month ago

We already have all the shapes we need. Square. Circle. Octagon. Tetrahedron. Tesseract. Penis.

That's enough shapes.

[-] noodly_appendage@lemmy.myserv.one 14 points 1 month ago

Did you just skip Hexagons?! Hexagons are the Bestagons!

[-] krooklochurm@lemmy.ca 11 points 1 month 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.

[-] noodly_appendage@lemmy.myserv.one 7 points 1 month ago

Oh, I actually didn't know that. Thats a really interesting fact, thanks!

[-] krooklochurm@lemmy.ca 6 points 1 month ago

Nonagon infinity opens the door.

Finally, they made Polygon 2

[-] Maultasche@lemmy.world 8 points 1 month ago

When will we get Polygon Z?

[-] nop@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

I'm waiting for the 2 film reboot.

[-] Kanda@reddthat.com 30 points 1 month ago

Ah just make it a 3d rectangle and slap a +/-10% on it

[-] AlchemicalAgent@mander.xyz 7 points 1 month ago

Ah, a fellow engineer!

[-] pr06lefs@lemmy.ml 30 points 1 month ago

scutoids be like

[-] Stamets@lemmy.dbzer0.com 24 points 1 month ago

Jesus Christ lmao

[-] Zerush@lemmy.ml 23 points 1 month ago

The area is very easy to calc, its only adding clear poligons, basic geometry. Somewhat harder to calculate the volumen of this thing.

[-] Paula_Tejando@lemmy.eco.br 11 points 1 month ago

Your spanish is leaking, mate.

[-] DonPiano@feddit.org 9 points 1 month ago

Fun: The leak looks the same as if it had sprung from german!

[-] betanumerus@lemmy.ca 6 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

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.

Scutoid these nuts, lmao

[-] LanguageIsCool@lemmy.world 10 points 1 month ago

Polygottem lmao

[-] rumba@lemmy.zip 11 points 1 month ago

There's a project for this!

https://github.com/orvn/scutoid

[-] ouRKaoS@lemmy.today 6 points 1 month ago

Incredible

Why would they change shapes!? SHAPES IS SHAPES!

[-] usualsuspect191@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 month ago

Wasn't this discovered years ago?

[-] butterycroissant@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

honestly not even sure how i remember doing complex math in hs

[-] slaneesh_is_right@lemmy.org 3 points 1 month 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.

[-] ZILtoid1991@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

Scutoid is best toid!

[-] betanumerus@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 month ago

Better than rheumatoid stuff.

Wake up everyone, a new shape just dropped!

[-] Juice@midwest.social 3 points 1 month ago

So how would you calculate this?

[-] betanumerus@lemmy.ca 7 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month 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@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

It's only 3 pentagons, 1 hexagon, 1 triangle and 3 rectangles for a total of 20 component triangles. Easy!

[-] Fedizen@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month 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]
