Hello,
I am trying to understand the concept of solid geometry(spheres, cubes, polyhedra etc) as a function of their co-ordinates.
for example, the general ellipsoid, is a quadratic surface which is given in Cartesian coordinates by:
(x^2/a^2)+(y^2/b^2)+(z^2/c^2)=1
a,b,c being the semi axis.
-Is there an equation to a rectangular prism as a function of the x,y,z coordinates like the ellipsoid?
Could someone clarify/explain.
Any help will be appreciated.
Thank you
