A prism is a geometric body, a polyhedron, the bases of which are equal polygons, and the side faces are parallelograms. To the uninitiated, this may sound a bit intimidating. And, when your child needs to bring a prism made at home to a geometry lesson, you are at a loss, not knowing how to help your beloved child. In fact, everything is not so difficult and, using our tips on how to make a prism, you will adequately cope with this problem.

How to make a paper prism

We will immediately agree that we will do a straight prism, that is, a prism in which the side edges will be perpendicular to the bases. Making an inclined prism out of paper is very problematic (such layouts are usually made of wire).

We already know that two identical polygons lie at the bases of a prism. Therefore, our work will begin with them. The simplest of the polygons is the triangle. This means that we will first make a triangular prism.

How to make a triangular prism

We will need thick white paper for drawing, a pencil, a protractor, compasses, a ruler, scissors and glue.

We draw a triangle, any one is possible, but to make our prism especially beautiful, we will make the triangle equilateral. Such a prism in geometry is called "correct". We choose at our discretion the size of the side of the triangle, let's say 10 cm. With a ruler we put this segment on paper and with a protractor we measure an angle of 60 ∗ from one end of our segment.

We draw an inclined line. On it, using a ruler, set aside 10 cm from the end of the segment. Thus, we have found the third vertex of the triangle. We connect this point with the ends of the initial segment and the equilateral triangle is ready. It can be cut out. Similarly, we make the second triangle, or carefully trace the contours of the first on paper. Well, we already have two reasons.

We make the side edges. We decide what the height of the prism will be. Let's say 20 cm. We draw a rectangle in which the value of one side is the height of the prism (in our case, 20 cm), and the second side is equal to the value of the side of the base multiplied by the number of these sides (we have: 10 cm x 3 = 30 cm) .

On the long sides we make marks every 10 cm. We connect the opposite marks with straight lines. On them then it will be necessary to carefully bend the paper. These are the side edges of our prism. We outline narrow allowances for gluing along two long and one short sides of the rectangle (1 cm wide strips are enough). We cut out the rectangle along with the allowances, carefully bend them according to the markup. We bend the ribs.

We start assembly. We glue the rectangle along the side face into a tube of triangular section. Glue base triangles on top and bottom on the bent allowances. The prism is ready.

It is probably not worth going into the details of the question of how to make a prism out of cardboard. The entire assembly algorithm remains the same, only replace the paper with thin cardboard. By changing the number of sides of the base polygons, you can now independently make both a five- and a hexagonal prism.

Given:
Intersection of pyramid and prism
Necessary:
Build a sweep of a straight prism and show on it the line of intersection of the prism with the pyramid.

Building a straight prism sweep is much easier than a pyramid sweep.

Construction of a prism sweep

The construction of a sweep of a straight prism is facilitated by the fact that all dimensions for the sweep are taken from diagrams and we do not need to find the natural dimensions of the edges of the prism. Since a straight prism is given, the lateral edges of the prism are projected onto the frontal projection plane in full size. The edges of the bases of a straight prism are parallel to the horizontal plane of projections and are also projected onto it in full size.

Algorithm for constructing a prism scan

  • We draw a horizontal line.
  • From an arbitrary point G of this line, we set aside the segments GU, UE, EK, KG equal to the lengths of the sides of the base of the prism.
  • From points G, U, ..., perpendiculars are restored and quantities equal to the height of the prism are laid on them. The resulting points are connected by a straight line. Rectangle GG1G1G is a development of the side surface of the prism. To indicate on the development of the faces of the prism from the points U, E, K, perpendiculars are restored.
  • To obtain a complete development of the surface of the prism, the polygons of its bases are attached to the development of the surface.

To build on the scan the line of intersection of the prism with the pyramid of closed broken lines 1, 2, 3 and 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, we use vertical straight lines.

A prism is a three-dimensional figure, a polyhedron, of which there are a lot of types: positive and irregular, straight and inclined. According to the figure lying at the base, the prism is from triangular to polygonal. It’s easier for everyone to make a straight prism, but over an inclined one you need to work a little harder.

You will need

  • - compass;
  • - ruler;
  • - pencil;
  • - scissors;
  • - glue;
  • - paper or cardboard

Instruction

1. Draw the bases of the prism, in this case it will be 2 hexagons. In order to draw a true hexagon, use a compass. Draw a circle with it, and with the help of the same radius, divide the circle into six parts (for a true hexagon, the sides are equal to the radius of the circumscribed circle). The resulting figure resembles a cell of a honeycomb. Draw an incorrect hexagon arbitrarily, but with the help of a ruler.

2. Now start designing the "pattern". The walls of the prism are parallelograms, and you need to draw them. In the direct model, the parallelogram will be a light rectangle. And its width will be invariably equal to the side of the hexagon lying at the base of the prism. With the right figure at the base, all the faces of the prism will be equal to each other. If it is incorrect, only one parallelogram (one side face), suitable in size, will correspond to the entire side of the hexagon. At the same time, follow the sequence of the dimensions of the faces.

3. On a horizontal line, stepwise set aside 6 segments equal to the side of the base of the hexagon. From the points obtained, draw perpendicular lines of the required height. Connect the ends of the perpendiculars with the 2nd horizontal line. You have 6 rectangles merged together.

4. Attach to the bottom and top side of one of the rectangles 2 hexagons constructed earlier. To any base if it is positive, and to the corresponding length if the hexagon is incorrect. Outline the silhouette with a solid line, and the fold lines inside the shape with a dotted line. You have a flattened surface of a straight prism.

5. To create an inclined prism, leave the bases the same. Draw a side-parallelogram, which will be one of the faces. There should be six such faces, as you remember. In order to now draw a scan of an inclined prism, it is necessary to arrange six parallelograms in the following order: three in ascending order, so that their oblique sides form one line, then three in descending order with the same condition. The steepness of the resulting line is directly proportional to the degree of inclination of the prism.

6. To the five rectangles in the development, add small trapezoidal overlaps on the short sides to glue the figure, as well as on one free long side. Cut out the blank for the prism together with the overlaps and glue the model.

A prism is a device that separates typical light into separate colors: scarlet, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet. It is a translucent object, with a flat surface that refracts light waves depending on their length and, as a result, allows you to see light in different colors. Do prism easily enough on your own.

You will need

  • Two sheets of paper
  • Foil
  • Cup
  • Compact disc
  • Coffee table
  • Flashlight
  • Pin

Instruction

1. A prism can be made from a simple glass. Fill the glass with water a little more than half way. Place the glass on the edge of the coffee table so that about half of the bottom of the glass is hanging in the air. At the same time, make sure that the glass is stable on the table.

2. Lay two sheets of paper one by one next to the coffee table. Turn on the flashlight and shine the rays of light through the glass so that it falls on the paper.

3. Adjust the location of the lantern and paper until you see a rainbow on the sheets - this is how your beam of light is decomposed into spectra.

The basic skill of an artist in academic drawing is the knowledge to depict the simplest three-dimensional geometric shapes on a plane - a cube, prism, cylinder, cone, pyramid and sphere. Possessing this skill, it is possible to build more difficult, combined three-dimensional forms of architectural and other objects. A prism is a polyhedron whose two faces (bases) have an identical shape and are parallel to each other. The side faces of the prism are parallelograms. According to the number of side faces, prisms can be 3-, tetrahedral, etc.

You will need

  • - paper for drawing;
  • - primitive pencils;
  • - easel;
  • - a prism or an object that has the shape of a prism (wooden block, box, box, part children's constructor etc.), preferably white.

Instruction

1. Erect prism is allowed by inscribing it either in a parallelepiped or in a cylinder. The core difficulty in drawing a prism is the positive construction of the shape of 2 faces of its base. When drawing a prism lying on one of the side faces, there is an additional difficulty in observing the laws of perspective, from the fact that in such an arrangement the perspective reduction of the side faces becomes noticeable.

2. Start drawing a vertically located prism by marking its central axis - a vertical line drawn in the middle of the sheet. On the axis line, mark the center of the upper (visible) face of the base and draw a horizontal line through this point. Determine the ratio of the height and width of the prism using the sighting method: look at nature, covering one eye, and holding the pencil in your outstretched hand on the eye tier, mark with your finger on the pencil the width of the prism visible from your point of view and mentally lay this distance along the prism height line a certain number times (how many times).

3. Measuring the segments with a pencil more closely in the figure, mark the width and height of the prism with dots on the 2 lines drawn earlier, observing the ratio obtained. Draw an ellipse around the center of the top face. Be diligent in accurately conveying its imaginary form, looking at nature. Draw approximately the same ellipse (but less flattened) in the plane of the bottom face of the base of the prism. Combine the resulting ellipses with two vertical lines.

4. Now on the upper ellipse it is necessary to notice the segments of the intersection of the side faces and its bases. Looking at nature, mark the points - the vertices of the polygon - lying at the base of the prism, as you see them, and gradually combine them with each other. From these points, draw lines down to the intersection with the bottom ellipse. Combine the resulting intersection points as well. During the subsequent drawing, the faces that are visible from the selected point of view are erased or shaded, therefore, draw all auxiliary construction lines without pressure.

5. Lying on my side prism draw with the help of an auxiliary box. Focusing on nature, draw a parallelepiped, observing the theses of perspective - the lines of the lateral edges, when they are mentally continued to the horizon line, which is invariably on the tier of the viewer's eyes, converge at one point. Consequently, the (noticeable) edge far from us will be slightly smaller than the front. When determining the aspect ratio of the parallelepiped, use the "arm's length" (or sighting) method.

6. On the front and back square faces, sweep the vertices of the polygons that lie at the base of the prism and build them. Combine these points in pairs on 2 faces - draw the side edges of the prism. Remove unwanted lines. Highlight the lines of ribs and corners of the prism closest to you more boldly, and mark the distant ones with light lines.

7. Looking at nature, determine the angle of incidence of light, the clearest, most shaded edges, and with the help of shading of varying intensity, convey these light ratios in the drawing. Draw a shadow falling from the subject. Underline the line of contact between the prism and the table with the darkest line. Please note that the light reflected from the surface of the table (reflex) falls on the most shaded face of the prism from below, and slightly illuminates it. When imposing a hatch on this face, consider given result and in the place of the reflex, apply a less saturated tone.

A prism is a polyhedron formed by any final number of faces, two of which - the bases - must necessarily be parallel. Any straight line drawn perpendicular to the bases contains a segment connecting them, called the height of the prism. If all side faces are adjacent to both bases at an angle of 90 °, the prism is called straight .

You will need

  • Prism drawing, pencil, ruler.

Instruction

1. AT straight prism every lateral edge is, by definition, perpendicular to the base. And the distance between the parallel planes of the side faces is identical at every point, including those points where the side edge adjoins them. From these two circumstances it follows that the length of an edge of any lateral face straight prism is equal to the height of this three-dimensional figure. So, if you have a drawing that shows such a polyhedron, it already has segments (edges of the side faces), all of which can also be designated as the height of the prism. If this is not prohibited by the conditions of the task, primitively designate any side edge as a height, and the problem will be solved.

2. If you want to draw in the drawing a height that does not coincide with the side ribs, draw a segment parallel to any of these ribs connecting the bases. It is not invariably possible to do this “by eye”, therefore, build two auxiliary diagonals on the side faces - combine a pair of any corners on the top and a pair corresponding to them on the bottom base. After that, measure any comfortable distance on the upper diagonal and put a point - this will be the intersection of the height with the upper base. On the lower diagonal, measure the same distance correctly and put the second point - the intersection of the height with the lower base. Unite these points with a segment, and building a height straight prism is completed.

3. The prism can be drawn taking into account perspective, that is, the lengths of identical edges of the figure can have different lengths in the figure, the side faces can adjoin the bases at different and not strictly right angles, etc. In this case, in order to correctly observe the proportions, proceed in the same way as described in the previous step, but put the points on the upper and lower diagonals correctly in their midpoints.

In detail - how to fold a sheet of paper and cut out a beautiful snowflake.

You will need

  • A sheet of paper, I have an ordinary A4 sheet, it’s better to take huge napkins
  • Scissors

Instruction

1. Fold the sheet in half

2. Now doubled, just to find the middle

3. We wrap the edges of the paper folded in half, alternately - as seen in the photo

4. We make sure that the leaf is bent evenly, and the ends reach the folds.

5. Now we fold the resulting envelope in half. It is necessary to practice in order to ensure that the outer edge of the sheet reaches exactly to the fold.

6. While there is no skill, it’s cooler to draw an approximate silhouette of a snowflake in advance.

7. Carefully cut out the silhouette.

8. We diligently expand.

Note!
Remember that it is impossible to make a through cut, the snowflake will fall apart.

Helpful advice
The thinner the paper, the easier it is to cut the snowflake. It is allowed to make snowflakes from foil.

Note!
In the development of an inclined prism, do not draw its faces at too large an angle, on the contrary, the model will be unstable.
